2021-10-28 Meeting Minutes - Drivetrain

2021-10-28 Meeting Minutes - Drivetrain

Goals

  • Feedback check-in

  • Plan integration strategy for weekend work

CAD Spins

Chassis

Notes:

  • Current issue: arm requires very little mounting space, whereas science requires a large opening

    • Thinking of doing swappable top plate and keeping a consistent bottom plate

      • Note: would always have a top plate on while driving

      • Can also use bottom plate for mounting differential and chassis-height gimbal

Suspension/Legs

Notes:

  • To do: add mounting for the differential bar, find 32mm ID bearings

Wheel connections

Notes:

General Notes

  • While working on CAD integration over the weekend, send a message to the drivetrain channel when you start occupying an assembly that isn't yours and when you're done with it
