Sample Drivetrains#
In this section, we compile several sample drivetrains which you can use as a starting point for your own designs. You should also check the gallery of robot designs in the Appendix.
- goBILDA strafer chassis
Basic mecanum chassis by goBILDA. Simple and easy to build chassis, providing an excellent starting point for robots built from goBILDA parts.
- goBILDA BeeLine Chassis
Basic 6 wheel drive chassis by goBILDA. Simple and easy to build chassis, providing an excellent starting point for robots built from goBILDA parts.
- Strafer chassis with Dead Wheels
Modification of goBILDA chassis by FTC 9794 Wizards.exe, which adds dead wheels. Also see their video tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjNvAD350M4&list=PLICNg-rquurYgWAQGhu6iC0At75vgqFJp
- REV Robotics 6 wheel drivetrain
Sample 6 wheel drivetrain built using REV kit.
- AndyMark Tile Runner chassis
A universal chassis kit sold by AndyMark. It is available in several modifications: 6 wheel, mecanum, tank tread. It is expensive, but using provided 3d models as inspiration for your own drivetrain is free.
- Wizards.exe 6 wheel drive chassis
Another design by FTC 9794 Wizards.exe. Combines custom side panels with Actobotics parts (gears, chain sprockets).
- Custom drivetrain by FTC 14875 LightSpeed
This design uses goBILDA mecanum wheels, motors, and some channels combined with custom side plates.
- NX VANTAGE-H
Another custom drivetrain using goBILDA mecanum wheels, by redditor /u/nateless. Note that this design can be viewed but not downloaded—this is intentional; see his original reddit post.
