Re: pic: 1771 crab drive
What is the front and what is the back? As in 2 wheels in back and 1 up front or the other way?

Other way. 2 in front. There is an elevator that goes between the 2 front wheels that is not on in the picture. Actually theres a lot more that I have added but I havent rendered.

Re: pic: 1771 crab drive
I was hoping it was 2 in front, that tends to be more stable.

Re: pic: 1771 crab drive
Very nicely done.
Are you guys have money issues, or is this grant just for fun??? Just wondering, but with the wheels housed in the box, would the wheels still be able to spin with the CIM's attached?

Re: pic: 1771 crab drive
I don't think we're having money issues...I mean more would always be great but thats just how it is. This is the base for an MIT Inventeams robot and I guess yu could say is just for fun. The modules are still free to rotate even with the CIM in the module. The tubes at the bottom are just there to support the module against side loads.
PS if you know where we could get more money that would be sweet

Re: pic: 1771 crab drive
Just so you know, if you get the opportunity to build this before next year, BaneBots is out of stock and has stopped selling most varieties of their 42 mm planetary gearboxes. Seems the manufacturer just decided to stop making them. You'd have to trade with another team or use what you already have.
BaneBots is working on their own in-house design and hopes to have units available by next season. Good luck with the grant!

For money, there are great businesses present locally, and I'm sure they'd be interested in sponsoring the FIRST initiative. Like, hundreds of businesses.

Re: pic: 1771 crab drive
Is the arm device going to rotate with the wheel direction? That would make the arm always face the direction you are going.
