Glad to see you're having fun and building robustly for BunnyBots -- should be a fun event. |
Yep, I'm looking forward to it!

The bearing blocks we are using have their bearing holes drilled 1/16" off center. The center wheel has its block upside down compared to the outer wheels, so that gives us 0.125" drop. If it tips around too much or is too squirrely, we will flip one of the outside wheels for effectivly a 0.0625" drop. We are using 16t #25 chain sprockets.

Do you feel 1/16" walled tubing is strong enough for a traditional drive train?

I think so, but we'll know for sure by the end of the month.
Anything that survives this BunnBot game will certainly be "strong enough for a traditional drive train"
