So I was wondering on the special way that you have to space and build a dr4b to be able to internally stack.
Also, is there a special way that you have to gear and build the dr4b to be able to internally stack?
Can anyone include any pictures? (I know you don’t want to show your robots too much)
It is usually possible to cantilever the bottom stage’s joints which saves a little under half an inch per side, other than that, just keep tolerances tight and brace well, and build up to the edge of your robot. Its really not that difficult (our robot is 31 holes wide and we have plenty of space).
Here are my dimensions, it gives plenty of room. Use a 35 hole long c-channel or angle and add your outside c-channel for your drive on each side, then count 5 holes toward the middle of the 35 hole long piece and add your inside drive c-channel. You should be left with a whopping 23 holes for the mogo lift and whatever lift you are using. You also get 4 holes for your drive, which is plenty, unless you are using mecanums. I wont post pictures, but hopefully this helps!
