by: lbarger

Basic 6 wheel drop center chassis using configurations and equations. Can select 1 of two wheel sizes, 1 of 3 gearboxes and whether or not front and/or back is open for object intake.

Off season CAD project from FRC Team 587, The Hedgehogs. Challenge was to design a configurable classic chassis where users select gearbox (from Toughbox, TBmini or Super Sonic Shifter), wheel size (from 4 or 6" plaction) perimeter size, width and top deck height for chassis. All configuration are direct drive of center wheel and is intended for use with 25 chain. Robot length automatically adjust based on perimeter and width dimensions. Corner wheel positions adjust automatically based on calculated robot length and wheel size.

Has mounting location for main breaker and up to 12 Talon SRX’s on side panels.
