Re: pic: 2008 drivetrain 1771
The c channel will not be the only thing holding up the arm. There will be more braces down low and Im also thinking 2 braces coming off the arm to the base forming a huge triangle. There will also be another brace in the front to stiffen things up. As far as electronics they can be put just about any where in there. We really don't have anything else going in...maybe the compressor? Also I want to mount the controller and some things vertically.
The advantage of this over a kit bot is obviously strength and it is perfectly suited for our version of the game. Also there are little things like tensioning slots and such which allows us to run #25 chain without worry. We used the standard wheels mainly to save weight and they are still fairly grippy. Also the 6" diameter wheels give us about a 9.5fps speed which we are going for. |

Re: pic: 2008 drivetrain 1771
Looks like a very familiar design.
We've used a similar configuration with great sucess for a number of years now. (3 that I can remember at least) That was our 2004 bot taken apart for offseason testing. If you need any pointers, or general advice just feel free to ask. Last edited by Elgin Clock : 10-01-2008 at 11:25. |

Re: pic: 2008 drivetrain 1771
Thanks everyone. Hopefully it will work well. I've been trying to build a drivetrain like this for the past 3 years and I think it's finally going to happen
