Please Rank the Drivetrain.
Specs:
Roughly 15" by 15".
All Blue Motor (600rpm) Geared to ~500rpm
2.75" Omni Wheels. Mid Wheels geared to 500, Xdrive Wheels Geared to 360rpm (*sqrt(2) = ~509rpm)
(Note: ignore that there is no Cross Brace, imma add that if I build it in IRL)
Any feedback is Appreciated. Thank you.
I’m not a master designer or anything, but here’s my two cents. Are you just making that drive because of the rules? Because the GDC said that they would be changing the rules (I’m presuming to allow an 18x18 robot at the very least).
Also, how many braces do you intend to add? Adding two would be most ideal, but a front brace could get in the way of the blocks.
But, anyways. I can see you put a lot of work into it! Good job.
it’s roughly 15" by 15" so I can fit into the parking zone
With the introduction of 5.5w motors there is no real reason to do an asterix drive. your better off doing like Ebots pilons and doin 1 11w and 1 5.5w per wheel on the X-drive. This is jsut exsessive wieght and complexity for the sake of “innovation”. this robot has less strafing ability than the X-drive varient and less straigh forward pshing ability than the Tank drive varient. This drive is baisically a weird inbetween that has neither the full benifits of X drives mobility or the Tank drives pushing power and simplicity. instead its a overcomplicated love child making it hard to build and harder to attatch mechs to. If you really want strafing do either 66w mechs or 66w X-drive. if you want good speed and simplicity do tank.
Im hoping there will be some supports across the middle? Else I think there may be some problems with the sides not being joined together.
I think the biggest issue with this drivetrain is actually how small the intake looks like it will have to be🤷‍♂️ Maybe its just me though. Overall its not a bad design, it just looks a little cramped
