I love this thread and your designs. Just curious, why a cim and mini cim per wheel? On your hinged mechanism, how did you get that bend in the back off the pivot???

EDIT: After looking further, It looks like you might of cut that piece that curves around the axel.. I thought it was all one which made my jaw drop.

Thanks! We appreciate the kind words!

We figured more power, better drivetrain! I think the CIM+miniCIM might wind up being a little overkill, but I'd rather be stripping weight out then adding it in later, so we planned optimistically for an 8-motor drive.

The gripper mechanism is just a piece of #10awg 5xxx al sheet bent into a c-channel with an OTS hinge from mcmaster bolted to it with some drilled holes and PEM nuts.

Thanks, me neither! We're off to Suffield Shakedown and not Chop-Shop's Week 0, it filled up too fast.

That's a hike. Sadly we aren't going to either. We never got a notification Week 0 registration was opening.

Not sure what we'll do that weekend but it might be useful to us if we aren't spending 3-4 days getting ourselves ready for a competition but continue focusing on the robot for the first event.
