Re: pic: A more standard aproach
Are you sure you want to commit 8motors to your drive train? ours the steering was all linked so we could tank steer which only took 5 motors you have that option by replacing all of the banebots with sprockets and have 1 motor drive them. I know las guerillas (469) went the 8 motor route and it was pretty crazy to watch.
amazing weight too especially for a swerve drive |

Re: pic: A more standard aproach
I agree with Aren, although we use two Globes for steering. I would stay away from the Banebot transmissions that appear in the steering motors. They might not be able to handle the rough treatment when your robot gets hit from the side or bangs into something.

Re: pic: A more standard aproach
FIRST off,
if you need any help with G-Code programming or machining in general just hit me up...I'm wondering... does that 64:1 gearbox with the mabauchi motor have enough torque to turn the wheel under load? A suggestion to save weight, for 1/8" polycarbonate you can use a large pop rivet to save weight as well, not to mention the higher population of fasteners will more evenly distribute the forces on the stiffening plate over a larger portion of its perimeter. Very nice lightweight design, have to say, amazed that all those gears for four wheels only weigh 35lbs. -q |
