If I was entering with a new team and ~$2000 then what would you guys recommend to buy in order to assemble a decent flywheel.
Steel parts if you’re low on cash.
-1x5 and 1x2 C-Channel
-standoffs
-plate/polycarb
-4 or 5 in wheels depending on your design
-extra fasteners always
-extra shafts
-no need for HS gears, the normal ones work just fine
(I’d suggest designing a ratchet if you don’t have motors you’re willing to kill)
adding on to what said before, buy bearing flats, and make sure you have locknuts
