Go to Post Overall, I thought FIRST did a great job with the rules this year - very simple and very clear for the most part. However, something is always going to fall through the cracks (and I don't mean that in a bad way - people need to know that it's practically impossible to do something perfectly). - Chris Hibner [more]

Has anyone ever used Dewalts for a drive system on the KOP frame?

Here is a link showing how we mounted the Dewalts on our 2007 robot kit frame without welding. We tapped and threaded the lower half of the collar clamp, and designed the CIM plate to serve as a mount as well. We machined and bolted a "drivetrain pan" to the kit frame. The lower half of the collar clamp and CIM plate/mount were then secured to the drivetrain pan with bolts from underneath. From the pic you can also see how we used some sliders to adjust chain tension.
