FRC3880 - The Tiki Techs - 2015 Drivetrain rev2
Current setup:
34lbs.
3”x1.5”x.25” Drivetrain tubes with 16t #35 sprockets & chain inside.
2”x1”x.25” Front & rear frame with offset bumper mounts.
The offset bumper mounts allow full access to the wheels as well as centers the support behind the bumpers.
4”x2” Colson in the center set and 4”x1.5” Colson on the outer set of wheels which are 1/8” above the center set of wheels. This rise is obtained by off center drilled custom inset axel blocks using the Vex cam for tension adjustment.
Chain access holes under the center axels to easily install the sprockets. As well there is easy access behind the axel blocks. Axel blocks are machined out of .5” material to partially nest inside the frame.
This hex frame is designed for the motors and pneumatics to be located over the frame and tires.
Chain in tube and motors over frame allows for a free center area of 18"x28" to work with. Depending on battery orientation and electronics there is ample space potentially available for just about any tool ideas.
New one piece, 4 motor capable, 2 live driveshaft, 2 speed transmissions for this design will be posted soon. These new transmission are under 2.5” wide by 10” long
Weight can be saved by going to .1 material, though we didn’t have any…
Have to build with what we have available. Currently under construction!
Aloha
