On your drivetrain? How?

Easy, you only need 1.125 inches to clear the generator bumps.

I understand, but how do you have them mounted? Onto a 2x1? because looking at the geometry, it doesn’t work.

In that case we might as well use bearings

Not if you are implying the standard 1.125 bearings common to FRC, you need the center of the “wheel” to be above the height of the obstacle you want to drive over.

@m_vila think of a word that rhymes with curve.

uak those 4" voters be swervin’ down the field

Has there ever been a swerve that uses greater than 4" wheels?

Oh, I thought you were joking when you said 3” wheel cause I immediately thought of WCD so I joked and said a bearing would do the trick. But now that I know the word that rhymes with “curve”, I get you were serious about 3” wheels.

That was going to be my next best guess. Alright, then it should be fine.

We’re using 4" on a WCD. It’s close, but we get over the bump just fine.

Sounds like someone believes wheels on the same side of the robot have to be in the same plane. :blush:
