4607 Butterslide Drivetrain V2
Here is the first iteration. I decided to go a different direction this time given the suggestions received in the linked thread.
Here* is the second iteration. Specs: 68 lbs including pneumatics, and all electrical components. This number is before any pocketing is considered. Everything can be built with simple power tools plus a mill (lots of milling...). 10 Wheels including six 4" Omni wheels and four 2.5" custom wheels fabricated from Delrin. In omni mode: the drivetrain has a 14:64 gear ratio which equates to about 16.5 ft/s Adjusted Speed according to the JVN Calculator. In traction mode: There is an additional 18:30 reduction which, along with the difference in wheel size equates to 6ft/s Adjusted Speed. The strafe wheels are pneumatically actuated, powered by a cim motor, and geared at 12:64 which is around 14 ft/s Adjusted Speed based on the JVN calculator. Improvements over Iteration 1: - The strafe wheels are now pneumatically actuated so as to main in constant and consistent contact with the ground - I hid basically everything, maximizing space for other components - The new frame is much easier to mount things to - No weird moments to worry about as nothing is cantilevered... or double cantilevered... Huge shout out to Aren Hill and 3928 Team Neutrino. A lot of this design was inspired by their 2013 drivetrain. What am I missing? Where am I going wrong? What can I improve? Thanks for the feedback! *Sorry for the lack of a quality render. It's 3AM and I'm bad enough at rendering when I'm wide awake. |
