Re: pic: Chassis Idea
Nice looking CAD.
We have done similar box chassis in the past and depending on the game we will more than likely do one again this year.. They are strong, simple and very reliable but heavy.
You can replace the shaft supports with simple aluminum blocks and make chain tensioning and changing wheel drop easier.
You can also loose the entire upper structure or wait and make one that is more game appropriate out of lighter stock.
We don't use welding anymore. Instead we glue everything together. Never had a failure.

No, I've never done 3D programming before, but I'm young and naive, so I still think I can do it. ;) - Ryan M. [more]
