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?
Usually, when you use 6 wheels and 4 motors, you want the motors to connect to the gears inbetween the wheels. This gives you flexibility with your gear ratio. Catalogue of Drive Gearings
This can help you with picking a gear ratio. I would recommend 3.25 inch wheels if ur going to have a small robot and 4 inch if ur going to have a late robot. Hope this helps!
What we did is a 84 tooth to 60 tooth on 200rpm motors. You can also do 60 to 36 tooth on 200 rpm motors.
280 RPM? We are running 450 2.75 hopefully soon to be 450 3.25.
This topic is six months old and obviously they haven’t spent the last six months waiting for another reply, so what’s the point of posting?
In general, threads older than a few months should be left alone.
