The current drivetrain system is almost reach it’s end of it’s design cycle. The only thing left is to cleanup the current system to create a better fundation interacting with the rest of the system, since drivetrain is considerably the most critical system in the whole rover. The figure illustrate a render for the current drivetrain system.
