I got the idea after seeing pictures of a robot using those modules. However, the steering system is a mix between what the robonauts did in 07, and what 1640 does now. Also, this version has a mistake, as I took the picture between versions. In the picture, it has a live axle, but the sprocket is bolted to the wheel, and the wheel has bearings. It should not have a bearing on the side plates of the module, and it should be set up for a dead axle configuration instead.
In most cases on FIRST robots, we have more material than in we need in some places and less than we need in others. That single phenomenon is the leading cause of robot failures. - Paul Copioli [more]
