Re: pic: New gearbox CAD

...Woah, I guess I've been using an incorrect model for my CIM's. Thanks for pointing that out! I'm at work right now, but I'll update the model and fill you all in on how much it ACTUALLY weighs when I get home.


EDIT: After a materials update, the gearbox comes out to 7 pounds even with motors.

I second that. Very elegant, very nice design. If you use this gearbox... you should make a couple extra side plates and chrome plate them for explanation-to-judges purposes at regionals. We had a really cool frame system on our 2006 robot and did something similar... we had extra aluminum frame components that we polished to a high gloss shine for explanation purposes.

Everybody likes bling... even FIRST judges.

Great job!
