Re: Cantilevered drive wheels?
Our 2006 shooter bot used cantalievered wheels on our track systems, If any of you remember us having issues with tracks getting walked off if we were being pushed around a turn, we fixed that in the off season.
The fix was, always use two ball bearings, not one, even if the specs say it can take the torsional loads...  Anyhow, yes, cantaliever wheels do take a little more work (we had to design and machine our axles) but they make the robot extremely easy to work on. -q |

Re: Cantilevered drive wheels?
We use non-Cantilevered drive wheels because as a defensive robot we expected a lot of torque and shock running through our drive system.
We used pneumatic tires so we did not have to worry that much about tread wear (like those that use roughtop). |
