Go to Post Competition and inspiration go hand in hand. Those who inspire will be pushed to do it again and again by those who see this as a healthy competition. Those who are inspired will compete to be an inspiration to others. You can have your cake (competition) and eat it (inspire) too. - Andy Baker [more]

1771 Prototype "Drift" Drive

I was inspired by 148's and 217's drivetrain this year, and decided I wanted to try out a similar one. I finished the module, some renders can be found here. Any feedback or suggestions would be great!

So how it works: The main center hole is for the drive shaft to go through. This shaft also serves as the pivot for the whole module. The brackets on top are the mounts for the cylinders that will rotate the module. The skid on the bottom is to prevent both wheels from touching the ground at one time. The traction wheel is geared slow and strong (I haven't figured out the exact speeds I want yet), while the mecanum is geared really fast.
