Re: Thoughts on the new AM14U 2014 KOP Drive train?
One advantage of the 2014 chassis that we noticed building ours yesterday was that it is much easier disassembled than the previous kitbot. In the past we inorder to replace a gearbox or even worse wheels required loads of work. With the new chassis we just have to remove the outer plate to get access to the wheels

Does anyone know what the size specs of the AM14U in the long and wide configurations? I can't seem to find it.

Yes, I am thinking of Drive in a Day. It was definitely not a finished product.

At first I thought this was a incorrect measurement, but it looks like you're right... the holes for the front and back wheels in the wide configuration are lowered down to the same level as the drive wheel. It must be on purpose. Perhaps they found the turning ability to be sufficient and decided against the tilt so that there's less chance of the robot tipping over.

I may be a bit biased from my involvement in the AM14U but I really like how versatile the system is. It can accept many gearboxes and really allows for the quick changing of components to suit ones needs.

The square configuration I was suggesting is not symmetrical fore-and-aft. I was thinking to get a (nearly) square chassis by cutting the side rails 2567 and 2572 on one end only. The resulting configuration has two wheelbases; one about 8.76 inch from the center wheel via the 131 tooth belt, and the other about 12.6 inch from the center wheel via the 170 tooth belt. Axle holes for the shorter span are at the same rail level as the center wheel (no drop), and those for the longer span are raised about 1/8" -- the result is a chassis that can tip just a bit on the center wheels, effectively a slight drop. |

Does anyone know how easy it is to do a mecanum setup with this chassis? My first impression is that a 6-wheel setup is easy, but mecanum might be difficult...

Based off the setup here, it seems easy to mount Toughbox nanos to the frame. |
