Best Gear Ratios for 4 motor wheel Drivetrain

[CarterB]

Hello, I am in the stage of testing my team’s robot base designs. I am stuck on what to do for the gear ratio in one of our solutions, it is a 4 motor and 6 omni-wheel drive. We want to move fast but still fight in defensive. Thanks!

Catalogue of Drive Gearings

Due to frequent questions and discussions on drive speeds, but not a lot of resources on the layouts of the possible gearings themselves, I’ve created this resource for people to see a catalogue of drive speeds that I’ve deemed as viable, and some commentary on each layout. All drives shown here are on 6 motors, and all drives here are compatible with center traction wheel. (some drives have 8 wheels so traction will be offset from center). The layouts shown can easily be translated to 4 motor …

How to gear a 4 motor drivetrain with 6 wheels

If anyone can help me, that would be great. Since Over Under came out, i was thinking of using a 4 motor drivetrain with 6 wheels, but I don’t know how to do so and if anyone could help me, that would be very helpful for me. If you can send pictures that would be awesome.

Making a 6 wheel drivetrain

My team and I have been looking through what drivetrain we should make for this year’s competition and we settled on 6 wheel drivetrain on a geartrain. But as we were discussing, we were having difficulty arranging and building the geartrain to support 3 wheels and be powered by 2 motors. I searched the internet but didn’t find a great example. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Hope you find what you need!
