Re: 1541 Prototype Drivetrain

Heh that was an entertaining video. I was a mentor on 1083 (which no longer exists unfortunately) last year and we used omni bot ( most interestingly characterized by the This is How we Roll omni pictures at nationals ). Spinning is one thing but just a little for warning the andy mark wheels are great but you may find when programming the robot in all its axis that they cause quite a bit of friction. We had to modify them twice to get them working more effeciently. The rubber sides would tend to want to slide over the aluminum plate and bind.

We solved this relatively simple, we dissamebled them and milled out the gap a bit larger. We then inserted washers inbetween the metal plate and the roller. The washers lessened the friction between the rubber rollers and the plate, it also sured up the integrity of the roller by not allowing it to bend and make contact with the plates. You may not find it nescesary but we did, and this was a simple solution that worked wonders for us.

Omni is a great drivetrain, and I think will be especially interesting and fun for this years game.
