Requirements on this page originally listed in Requirements (2021-2022).
| Constraints | Criteria |
|---|---|
| Drivetrain must support of X wheels (TBD) | Use O-drive motor controllers on the drivetrain. Wiring from O-drives to motors should be optimized |
| Discuss direct drive vs chain drive | |
Needs to be able to traverse through soft sandy areas, rough stony areas, rocks and boulder fields, vertical drops, and steep slopes | Determine a max rock height that we want to be able to climb? |
Determine the typical and maximum forces applied to the rover (i.e. from tall vertical drops, smaller drops, etc.) | |
| Determine if we need to traverse sandy slopes? | |
| Must dampen shock felt by the rover to protect system electronics | |
| Drivetrain must travel at X m/s | Determine minimum speed needed for rocky traversal or determine the typical speed used in URC? |
| Drivetrain must have a low centre of gravity |
- Notes:
- Consider how drivetrain style increases/reduces turning scrub
Look into swerve on wheels
