this frame is made out of 1x1x1/8 and 1x1x1/16 box tubing
and is for little competition on our team against a sixwheel drive setup it should be interesting

Re: pic: frame for monster
could this be the start of a monster crab drive? (magic 8 ball says yes). Seriously though, what are the little cut-outs at the bottom of the frame for? Kudos for getting started before the season!

Wow, that is a lot of box aluminum...looks like it could be very heavy

The frame is actually about 16 pounds. Our team is having a little comettion between two groups with two drivetrains to see which one works better.

16 pounds, eh? Thats not too bad. And with bumpers, it looks like that frame will be able to take quite a beating.

this frame is constructed out of 1x1x1/8th and 1x1x1/16th inch tubing
and the holes are for mounting some things not for gas since the endes of most tubes are with open or have a little slit left after welding. I designed all of this in inventor and we still have some interesting parts to put on such as some
dewalt threes speeds yes yes 
edit: and yes its for a crab drive

Re: pic: frame for monster
I'm guessing by the frame style, you guys are gonna have a 3 speed coaxial crab. Kudo's on going for it, and I'd love to see tons of pictures/movies, as I am designing one of my own.

Re: pic: frame for monster
its coaxial with cim and dewalt mounted vertically beside the module and getting to the wheel through some sprockets and miter gears
the three speed should give us 3fps, 7fps and 12fps
this frame will end up weighing about what our previous 2 years have (which i haven't been on that build team) but with a 3speed swerve

and these guys have been of some inspiration

and http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/25244

Re: pic: frame for monster
The only problem with building and welding a frame together right now is that we have really no idea what the game is going to be. They may want a wide robot or a long robot. That's what happened to us last year, we had a built frame before the building season, but after we saw the game, we wanted a wide robot. Just keep this in mind. Right now we have a frame built, but not welded. Also our design makes it easy to change it from long to wide.

Re: pic: frame for monster
I forgot to mention the reason i'm making this is basically last season all parts of our robot were pretty good besides the drivetrain. As a chassis driver all i could do is either plant and sit there or run away. So basically i would like to help design what i'll be driving this year and actually have some get out of the way power in the form of a 3 speed swerve that can push and fly across the field all in one package that weighs the same as our previous frames. so basically i'm just wanting something to work with.
