This is cool! What type of gear are you using on the outside perimeter of the turret? Can I see a closer picture of that part?

it is the flywheel from a Chevy pick up driven by a window motor

By the way. The bare chassis is red oak and weighs in at 7 pounds 6 ounces. It is six wheel drive.

How is the wood holding up under usage. Have you tested its strength in impacts with other things such as robots and walls? Also how are the bearing holes holding up? Have they started to enlarge?

Is it bare oak or did you guys make a composite of some sort? Either way, looks great.

Is it really the same pitch? Thats very resourceful. How much does it way? Most flywheels aren't light...
