Magni proto wheels with 5.17 gear ratio mechanical issues #157

Open mjstn opened 2 years ago

mjstn commented 2 years ago

Our two sample wheels of gear ratio 5.17 have shaft of 12mm threads. That cannot be what we use to be compatible with a standard Magni/Breadcrumb and so on type of chassis. 12mm is used only for the gearless wheels used in 4WD robot so far. ALSO the proto rev 5.17 wheels stand out about 1cm on each side for a 2cm wider wheel separation. Lastly the wheel axel extends past hubcap by 5mm or so on each side.

Assembled unit shows that the rev 5.17 wheels stand out about 1cm on each side for a 2cm wider wheel separation. Lastly the wheel axel extends past hubcap by 5mm or so on each side.
