Well, the advantage isn't completely negated. First of all, if you put two CIMs through one transmission you can usually make it so that you have less total gear/sprocket meshes and therefore less efficiency losses that way--which although small, start to stack up, especially with planetary transmissions. Plus, in shifting transmissions, it can help reduce the number of actuations required to shift (for example, two servos or pistons instead of four.) In that case, it could possibly still be a weight savings in terms of the overall system. But the way you're doing it could be better from a weight distribution perspective, too.

All that said, you're a total CAD champion in my book. Seriously, great work, really professional looking.

Hey, just a quick question about solidworks (you obviously seem to know a lot about it)

I got the free student package in the mail and it says on the back that it includes photoworks - but I can't seem to find it, or its toolbar. Do I have to enable it or something?

I'd like to try rendering stuff

Check under Tools>Add-Ins

That dialog box should give you the option to turn it on for just that session or at startup.

Yes, you do have to enable photoworks, but its quick and easy.
  1. While in SolidWorks, go to the tools menu, and click Add-ins.
  2. Click the checkbox next to photoworks (and if you want it to run every time you run solidworks, click the checkbox on the right as well)
This will enable:
  • A new tab in the left column with material and environment options and such
  • A tab in the right browser with info about different materials
  • The PhotoWorks toolbar can now be shown by clicking on a blank space on the existing toolbar and selecting photoworks.
You can just play around with it if you like, but I reccomend the tutorials that come with solidworks (Help Menu > Tutorials)


EDIT: M. Krass beat me to it.
