 Basically, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should and being savvy enough doesn't entitle you to being above the law. - Greg Needel [more] |

Re: pic: Swerve protoype finished just on time
Very Very nice!
 I love swerve drive, and that looks like a very well implemented system. I would love to know what the weight is (even though it is a prototype). In my books swerve kicks the pants off omni drive systems systems. But the weight issue always scares me away..

Re: pic: Swerve protoype finished just on time
Looks very good!
A couple questions... 1. How much does it weigh? 2. Coaxial? 3. What's the final speed?

Re: pic: Swerve protoype finished just on time
the total (uncheeseholed) and unlightened drivetrain weighs 69 lbs i think i could get it down to 60 and that would leave 60lbs for auxilary whatever this weight includes all electronics 4 cims and 1 van door motor
speeds 3,7.5,12.5 those are close theoretical speeds. and yes it is coaxial its the finished product of the pic "frame for monster"

Re: pic: Swerve protoype finished just on time
The cad of this drive train is found here.
Impressive. I had a similar plan for a 3 speed drive. Not coaxial though. The weight sounds pretty scary. Is there anything excessive on there? Any chance of a closeup of a module?

Re: pic: Swerve protoype finished just on time
What wheels did you use?
Can we get a side view? How well does it work under water?

Re: pic: Swerve protoype finished just on time
since each wheel has its own drive motor and 1 steers all of them we just point the wheels towards the long side of the bot and tanksteer.

Re: pic: Swerve protoype finished just on time
we took this design and then made some modifications such as a fischer price for steering rather than the vandoor and the cim/dewalt combos went vertical above the module rather than off to the side eliminating 4 chains taking it from 9 to 5. we just adjusted stuff for our arm and lifts.
