 For those of you that think the kit chassis is too weak... It is tough stuff. Those of you that say it is too weak, just do not know what you are talking about. - Paul Copioli [more] |

Re: pic: Vex Swerve
anybody have any suggestions on how I can set it up so that both motors are on the inside instead of on the outside. Right now the way its set up both motors with hit if on the inside.
Thanks

You would have to widen the wheelbase for that to work.

yeah you're going to have to put two smaller gears next to the larger stearing gear, one on each side. let me know how that kit works for ya.

Expand the base and place a communicative gear between the two 60 tooth gears your using right now.

You can run a chain around all 4 wheels, this way you dont need gears, and the middle is open.

that's nice! what's the speed of those wheels when they are mated to those VEX motors?

100 rpm x 0.85 x 2.75in diameter x pi / 12in per foot / 60 sec per min = 1.02 feet per second drive speed.

Re: pic: Vex Swerve
quick question, since I know nothing about programming. Right now the way its set up is that the right joystick on the controller will be used to control the steering. Is there a way where I can get it so that the left joystick will control all 4 wheels?
