Re: Chiaphua Gear Box
Last year we had wheels cantilevered off the side of our robot, very bad idea. During testing our pillow block broke (more likely to cheap parts) so we made our own. And in the Florida regional our bot lost a wheel. Luckly we were the only team still functioning at the time, so we had no trouble going up the ramp and winning the match. I still laugh when I think about how the camera zoomed in on our lone wheel surounded by boxes and panning over to our robot sitting on top of the ramp victorious. Sorry I got a bit off topic there.
In general we always try to keep a shaft supported at two ends. If a gear, sporket, what have you, comes loose during a match it doesn't fall off that way. |
