Re: Best Drivetrain

Actually pretty much all of my designs require 5 or less motors. One for each ball and one to change the direction all of the balls spin.

My newest design requires as few as 2 motors, but it would be extremely impractical with only 2. It would require 3 or 5 to work well. I'm sorry I can't really describe it, but I'm only willing to explain once I get the design done in solidworks.

Another thing I need to work out is how I can hold the balls in place so they're held loose enough to rotate freely, but it would be impossible for them to come out of it's casing without taking it apart.
