Here is the actual cad file I work better in 3DS max but I realized that some of the measurement's were off so I redid it in Inventor. I have only done the actual drive train and not the whole frame. The center wheel is driven from the front omni by #35 chain. The performance wheels will have blue nitrile on them.

Why have you chosen to put the omni wheels up front? I would personally make the omnis at the back (seems like no effort at this point, just declare the other side front) to give whatever manipulator/etc the benefit of more fine control.



perhaps this is moot for more reasonably dimensioned robots

The dimensions of the original drawing are off the actual dimensions are 32x24. I see your point about switching the front and back, we may just do that if our drivers can get the feel for it .

Of course I made it super long to show the effect. for a robot that is of standard squarish it is indeed significantly less of a concern
