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 gallery of robot designs in the Appendix.

goBILDA strafer chassis: Basic chassis by goBILDA. Simple and easy to build chassis, providing an excellent starting point for robots built from goBILDA kit.
Strafer chassis with odometry: Modification of goBILDA chassis by FTC 9794 Wizards.exe, which adds odometry wheels. See also 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 pricey, but using provided 3d models as inspiration for your own drvietrain is free.
Basebot: A customizable open source drivetrain by FTC 10355 Project Peacock. It was designed specifically to be used by other teams as a base of their robots.
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. Take a look at this computer-generated render.
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.
