Go to Post Do not treat Vex and FLL as inferior because they may not get as much exposure as FRC on these boards. Just remember, FLL has seven times more teams than FRC from twenty additional countries. - artdutra04 [more]

Re: pic: Shaft Drive Bearing Blocks

My team has also designed a similar system. There is one thing you may want to take into consideration. In our design we use spider couplings in the driveshaft to allow for slight misalignments in the bearing position. This was important for us because if the robot frame becomes bent slightly in any way it will bind the shaft. Ill post the drawings after our next meeting on Tuesday so you can see where they are located.

Re: pic: Shaft Drive Bearing Blocks

Great design. but if the frame flexes chances are something is gonna skip or break. plus under the tremendous forces on that shaft i doubt the bearing blocks will stay in place. If its a flat game this year then it might work but even then the robots still take alot of beating.
