Re: Grasshopper's Homework Thread
Example mechanism write-up:
Team 2451's (Pwnage) motor-in-wheel swerve drive module.
Thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=128465
2451's motor-in-wheel swerve drive is awesome because it is one of the lowest-profile full 4-wheel swerve ever made in FRC. It also epitomizes the 'use on part in multiple roles' design principle. The CIM motor not only drives the wheel, but acts as the wheel's dead-axle and the steering gear is also the carrier for the whole drive module. I also like how cleanly the module integrates into the robot's chassis, that is quite spectacular. More to the point, they had a competitive robot with a reliable execution of the first-ever competition swerve drive, that is very impressive. They used the great maneuverability that this swerve drive gave them to deal with aggressive defenders quite gracefully.
