Re: pic: Prototype Drivetrain
Instead of using washers to lower your middle wheels, try drilling the holes in all 16 pillow blocks off center by 1/16", and flip the middle ones over so the axel ends up being 1/8" lower than the outside axels. Adding washers isn't as clean/sturdy.
Also, to lower your CG (which is ALWAYS important), you might want to mount the pillow blocks on the top side of your lower frame members, that way the whole frame is lowered a total of 2 inches. And try mounting your electronics (Battery/CRio/etc) on the lower frame level, not the upper one. This will lower your CG and give the manipulator teams more area to work with. Win Win.
