Re: pic: Its twins - prototype drives
This is cool. I definitely like the idea of trying to save interior space in the robot for mechanisms. It sure can make moving multiple or large game pieces through a robot easier.
Only one thought - other than wheel bolts, are there any standoffs inside the frame connecting the inside and outside plates of the pods together? I would be a little bit worried about a significant impact to the plates - even 3/16" thick. Some carefully arranged standoffs could help mitigate this, especially near the corners.
Please keep working on this drivetrain, offseason projects are a great way to try new designs that push the limits of "should I really do this?"

They showed me a new item and said "we don't know how to list this on the inventory." I took one look, started laughing and said "In my world that is called a game piece, aka, a tote." - RoboMom [more]
