Pros and Cons
Tipping Point Drivetrain V2
Pros:
-
In this design, only 2 motors are used to power the drivetrain so that 6 motors can be used for other components
-
We used 2, 200 rpm motors to provide some speed and torque
-
Traction wheels are used so the robot can have enough traction to climb the platform
-
We plan added Optical Shaft Quadrature Encoders to our drivetrain in order to find the accurate rotations of our wheels which can be used for autonomous

Since the differentiable drivetrain took up a lot of space, we decided to go with a more simple design which used two motors
Cons:
-
Since only 2 motors will be used for the drivetrain, the robot may not have enough speed and/or torque
-
The motors may overheat easily since only 2 motors are moving the robot.
