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 is your goal, I would
investigate it!

My prejudice is that using the 24teeth crown gear is the best with
respect to friction, but I don't have any real evidence for this
assertion.

| 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)
