I just have a few questions...
  • What is the speed of the drivetrain?
  • Are you going to add a belly pan to the chassis?
  • Why are you using two CIMs for the strafing module? The reason I'm asking this is because I did make a similar drivetrain in the past, and I ended up using only one CIM for the strafe module.
  • Is there anyway to add a smaller diameter traction wheel? If that happens, then you have two speeds, and one could be used for a pushing match.
Speeds about 14 on omni and 7 on traction
A belly pan will probably be added in later
I have the two cims there so I have the option to have two or use a minicim or just use one. So basically its for flexibility.
The versadrop doesn't seem to play nice with different size wheels. It achieves different speeds on traction and omnis through another reduction via sprockets.
