Go to Post I got something totally different from my FIRST experience. to me the spirit of FIRST is all about sharing. during the 6 week build period, you share yourself with the other people on your team. at the competition, you share your creation with everyone who watches your 'bot play the game. - George1902 [more]

I need some live axil design tips!

This is our thrid year in FRC. In the past we have been using a dead axil system. This year we want to try a West Coast system. I have two questions about the live axil system.

1) How do you keep the axil from moving out of the bearings? I first though of snap rings, but I am worried about them failing. Also we are going to try a timing belt drive system and I am not sure the clips would be precise enough.

2) How do you attach the wheel to the axil? Again snap rings come to mind, but I have the same reservations here.

What methods do you suggest?

Thanks.
