Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid
To guess the purpose of this unfinished mechanism, or to guess what this crazy but simple other component is. That is as far as I go with giving hints... Lol

Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid
The drive will lift up the chassis and be able to traverse a step or bump.

Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid
Is your mechanism inside the wheels? Internal gearing/anything?
*begins to lose interest* |

The other 2/3s of it: the drivetrain.

Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid
Hmm.. I'll take a crack at it..
Is this a mechanism for a robot? |

SO, I believe you said JVN got it correct in what can actually be seen... "a dual wheel rocker where each wheel is a different speed with an automatic shifter mechanism" Since I'm a pretend engineer please be gentle with me... it appears that part of the 2/3 missing is the mechanical actuator that causes the automatic shifting... like a vertical pneumatic cylinder that causes a pivot/change between the wheels, right? IF NOT the case, I'm going to fire-up the TiVo and lose myself in THE WALKING DEAD and come back to this tomorrow... |

Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid
Judging from the ratios I see, the wheels seem like they would be spinning at approximately the same speed, also the way the assembly is mounted suggests that it pivots, and the shape of the cut out of the mount suggests the smaller wheel can be raised significantly. In my opinion, this seems like a mechanism to either raise the chassis to over come an obstacle or a mechanism that allows a team to switch the configuration of their drive terrain during a mach, for example switching from a 4 wheel to an 8 wheel or 6 wheel to an 8 wheel or any other combination.

Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid
I believe he's missing the encoder.
Don't forget your sensors. |
