Re: H-Drive Strafing issues
No but the entire frame acted as a suspension since the polycarbonate is flexble. Probably not ideal for a full contact games such as Steamworks.

Re: H-Drive Strafing issues
So think we will be good once we put it on the carpet?

![]() The carpet will definitely help but I STRONGLY recommend not waiting till you get to your first competition to find out. Try to find someone nearby with a practice field or pick up a small section of carpet comparable to what's used on the field from a local carpet store. There are few things worse then going to a competition and finding out your drive system doesn't run like you expect it to. Last edited by cbale2000 : 09-02-2017 at 14:18. |

Re: H-Drive Strafing issues
A picture of the robot in question would help us out a lot. I have built the exact same H-drive from the Vex Drive in a Day kit. It could barely even drive on linoleum or another hard surface. Driving on carpet was much more successful, but there's a large chance you'll still run into consistency issues. Now, you have a couple options open to you.
Those options are listed in rough order of difficulty. You and your team will have to decide which option is best for you. |

Re: H-Drive Strafing issues
My team ran an H-drive in 2015, and had this issue for a while. Our solution was to use a spring to pull the module down while simultaneously acting as a suspension allowing for the robot to not get completely shaken off-balance upon hitting bumps.
I agree that a picture or model of the drivetrain would be extremely helpful for us to see where a solution could be implemented. Simply put, if I can't see it, I can't solve it. |

Re: H-Drive Strafing issues
Our team is also going with a H drive this year. We have found that it isn't difficult to put a sideways module on a pair of articulated arms. The plates we're using are cnc'd but you can cut them out of an old AM14U if you need to. They just have to have the Toughbox's hole pattern. Here's a picture: https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...f5&oe=589F53C9
Hope this helps. |
