Re: pic: 8WD 'Suspension' Chassis Concept
Suspension ususally implies some sort of spring/shock setup to allow flexible wheel movement but return it to a set position--kind of like how a car sits on its springs/struts. How would you accomplish this?
Perhaps you could run a pair of universal joints between the output shaft from a gearbox to the input shaft of the "pod" to allow for movement of the suspension, then run chain/gears to the pair of wheels. This would allow for the transmission to be mounted solid. Question is...do you have the overall width to run that setup on both sides of the robot? Just a suggestion to help move your idea forward...
