(...) I'm thinking that the most efficient thing is to use one motor for each axle. That will save you the universal joints, and it will also impose less friction on the drive train. The solution isn't that technically interesting, but if efficiency (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

Hi all, I'm sure many of you have much more experience working with drive trains than I have, so I'd like your advice. I'm working on a six wheel (well, actually, six wheg[1]) drive robot with two points of articulation (for steering). Thus, I (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

I think Ian raises a good point here. The dearth of fests in the first three quarters of this year (barring Jon's excellent preamble to the last RLD) can possibly be put down to the lack of anything being organised by the 'the usual suspects'.
