The Great Plan

make it move

new motors

Bought new motors with the same axle dimensions, though probably better gear ratio.

electric connection

• solder the wire connectors

electric test

• connect and make them move

physical mount

• design motor mounts to connect to the modular chasis
• print it 🖨️

connect wheels

• make the robot move ♿

The wheel situation

Old mecanum wheels have a lot of roller friction

• as each roller has only one axis point in the middle
• adds up friction

Try to save the old ones

• do you want to even? - try to add shrinking wires on the wheels

Design new wheels

• choose how

  • in Blender
    • possibly re-create rednelb - openscad blender implementation
    • than use the generator for OpensSCAD
  • in openSCAD
    • adjust and use the generator from thingiverse i used for the old design

• choose design

  • probably o-o-o type
  • probably modular (i already have the design on paper somewhere)
    • separate core connectable to the aluminium hubs i have
    • separate connectable roller umbrella ribs
    • separate wheels
      • with diameter allowing the shrink-tube application

• create the model

  • wow, just this easy style

• print it all wheels 🖨️

  • 4 hubs
  • 4x7 roller ribs
  • 4x7x(1or3) wheels

• join it all together

• profit 💰
