8 years ago Once I replicated the rim of the wheel, I've designed an adaptor to joint the motor shaft to the wheel with a setscrew of M4, taking advantage of its three screws of M6. According to the assembly (rim+adaptor), this adaptor could work. I'll try to replicate the whole wheel, so I can use it at the full assembly all together.
We should try it first with a 3D printed prototype and then mechanize it with the UVic's CNC.
This is the tricky part of the design and the system. So the wheels are so big and have a 20mm hole for the shaft so we'll have to adapt it to the motor. I have some ideas, one is with a rigid part and the other involves a flexible part that could be use as a suspension for the robot. We may talk about it with our tutors and test it. We want to do this part well done, simple and resistant.
