Re: Aluminum sprockets for drive train - several questions

We had some aluminum sprockets custom-cut from 1/8" plate using a waterjet cutter for the "aim high" game. We had a six wheel drive train (4x6" IFI traction wheels, 2x6" AM omnis) powered by four CIMs using the KOP transmission. We got into several pushing battles in Portland and at GTR, did a fair bit of ramp climbing, and basically slammed that poor little robot around pretty hard.

Although we broke lots of stuff on it and have put more "miles" on it as a demo robot than we have on any other machine, the sprockets are just fine.

Had we used steel we would have been in trouble... we weighed in for the eliminations at GTR weighing 120.0.
