Re: pic: Cyber Blue Swerve Chassis - Rear View
I can see why to be cautious, yet even that being said whenever my team has used globes the other end has been unsupported and hasnt given us any issues.
But the places in which we used them didnt have constant sideloads, just occasional ones. In theory the chain going both ways off of it may cancel out some |

Re: pic: Cyber Blue Swerve Chassis - Rear View
Looks real nice.
Here's a tip that will save you time and money. If those pots have hard stops at each end and can be broken by being driven past those stops, add some mechanical stops to the system. Your electrical team will thank you. The system will get away from you at least once during early software development and will start spinning wildly. It's just something I've heard and not from any personal experiences ![]() Can you share with everyone how you plan on using the data from both pots? We've contemplated adding redundancy in the past, but have never come up with an easy way to distinguish a good vs a bad pot so we always stick with one. |

Re: pic: Cyber Blue Swerve Chassis - Rear View
I actually just weighed our robot with another member last week due to curiosity. It weighed near 80 pounds. But that also includes our electronics. However, I don't recall whether or not the battery was on or off the robot at that time. The 80/20 chassis we put together was 18 and each pod is presumably 8 or 10 pounds each. So what you are looking at in the picture is about 60, give or take a few. Of course you can always make it a lot lighter in a number of ways.
