Drive Train layout

Alright so this morning we laid out components for the system on cardboard. the carboard is the deimensions needed. where you see Victors are going to be the talos. but also those will likely be moved to the side on a thing of plastic instead, kinda like last years robot.  comment, change it if you need. This is just to show what we have so far.

Awesome, now to get a big ol' sheet of 1/8 aluminum and copy the cardboard dimensions. Or get a machine shop to do it.

The router needs to be visable sl we will mount up on the frame. The cirio and the fuse panel will switch places. As far as what to mount it on, we maybe have our metal supplier stamp out the bottom plate. Sunday should start a spread sheet on weights of all known parts to track the weight as we go. From Friday to present time the team has made a great deal of advancements, however we must keep to the testing of the shouter. By Monday we must know the ratio of gearing to fire succesful.

lets not have the battery in the middle
im not sure of what kinda framery were going to have coming upwards, but i doubt itll make reaching into the centre of the robot and picking up the battery easy :/...
fuse panel, digital sidecar, and router are usually mounted vertically, so let stick to that formula and give ourselves more room to arrange stuff on the bottom
on a similar note, between the wheels and CIM motors is going to be 1" of aluminium as well as gearboxes, so thats something to keep in mind to not arrange things underthe impression that we can squish motors closer to wheels

So moving forward we need the CAD file for the gusets today , right now , before 8 am in the morning. Need to order more metal as well.

The CAD files are on the dropbox Mr. MacKinnon. They were last night.
