Metalskullrobotics build thread

[inventor]

This weekend we started working on our new Featherweight, Equinox. It will be a four wheel driven robot with a drum on its front. Its a bit inspired by Rango/Django.

Like Omega it will have a fully shockmounted brushless drive system. Omega is way overpowered so we chose the slightly smaller NTM4258-500KV this time.

The gearbox consists of two stages, a 3:1 with bevel gears and a 3:1 stage with a T5 belt.













The aluminium frame that you see on the last two pictures is purely as a mock-up/prototype.
