Re: paper: Killer Bees 2011 Robot CAD model
1. The spacer that the articulating wheel pivots about sits in a milled block inside the tube. There are two bolts going from the end of the tube to the block, which has taped holes. To tension the chain, the two bolts are tightened.
2. There is a bolt going through the tube (with a spacer in the tube) and the cams, with a nut on the cam side. We loosen the bolt attaching the cam, loosen the bolts on the bearing block, tension the cam, then tighten the bolts again. No, they didn't work themselves loose.
3. Yes, it has the possibility to rub, but it will wear a hole for itself.
4. The collar is welded on one side to the side plate.
5. Yes, it is for counterbalancing.
