Re: Questions-Thoughts/Input On First Drivetrain Design
Couple of things:
FRC 2374 FRC 1983 Both of these designs were from before kickoff and thus modified to address the challenges of the game. Both teams only used one piece of sheet metal on the side panels, not a full box like you have. We then pop riveted the sheets to pieces of angle aluminum. Our rivets were on a 2" spacing. The chassis seemed to hold up quite well. Good work though, good luck on your future iterations. |

The first pic is for context. The drivetrain is a 6wd West coast drive from this years competition robot. Even though the drive systems are different, the concept still holds true.Chains and extraneous hardware have been removed for clarity. ![]() Here is a view of the rail. ![]() And finally a fancy exploded view. ![]() |

Re: Questions-Thoughts/Input On First Drivetrain Design
Super Shifters are a bit wider because of the extra gear reduction needed to be able to directly drive the wheels. The black housing can be simply replaced with 2" aluminum spacers which is how many teams run them.
When we have used them we have incorporate the front plate into the frame to save even more bulk. |
