Re: Attaching Things on WCD

I'll post a picture of what I have so far with the drivetrain I am designing.

Re: Attaching Things on WCD

Yeah, you use small plates with holes in them and rivet them to the parts they attach to. Rivets are really strong but can be drilled out easily if you use aluminum.

Re: Attaching Things on WCD

It appears as if you are using 3x1 tubing. Most teams use aluminum 2x1 in their drives since it's lighter and is still plenty strong to get the job done.

You can mount things just about anywhere. We made simple brackets to attach our superstructure this year:

Additionally you can use vex versablocks and cam tensioners with 2x1, which I would highly recommend.
