 Instead of prototyping with plywood and machining metal for the final version, they make their prototypes out of sheet metal and machine the final robot out of wood. :) - Chris is me [more] |

Re: pic: Dual FP gearbox
Looks like a great way to move an arm. I'm wondering, though, if replacing a few of the stages with a couple of Banebots planetary gearboxes would cut down size and weight sufficiently to be worth the cost.
We were looking at how we could take a couple FPs, then use the BBs to drive a worm gearbox for moving an arm. I know that kind of defeats the purpose of building your own gearbox from scratch... and I do have to admit that I enjoy seeing custom work more than just seeing yet another COTS gearbox... but when build time gets tight our team tends to head for the COTS solution.
