Re: 1771 Prototype "Drift" Drive

How do you plan on hooking these pods to the robot? Also are you thinking about placing a cim per pod or 2 cims and a gear box somewhere else?

I've been thinking about this for a little while too, I would do it a bit differently, direct driving one of the wheels and pivoting off that. I'm probably going to throw together a CAD of it when my exams are over.
Sounds like a good idea but I can think of one potential problem if you were to use this design in a game. If you are pivoting around one wheel that would mean the other wheel would need to be lowered below that wheel thus raising the entire robot. Now depending on how much that raises the robot I can see a situation where the bumpers are no longer in a legal zone. Right?
