Re: A New Drivetrain

I like it, good thinking. As soon as I saw nonadrive, I expected the Mechanum pod idea to come up with a bunch of teams. Next season should be interesting . The dead stop is also a useful feature, but usually only in certain games.

As for CAD you can run... If you haven't heard of sketchup, it is an okay stop gap when you can't get decent CAD to work on your computer.

Thanks, thats a really useful tool. I'd never heard of it before. I'm sure I'll be using it alot in the future.

Re: A New Drivetrain

Using Sketchup I was finally able to finish what I started.

and yes, there's no chains, gearboxes, and you get circles instead of wheels but those would taken way way longer to make from scratch then I wanted to devote to finishing this. Overall though, pretty good for a first try I think (at both designing a chassis and sketchup).

Comments and opinions are welcome.
