mattthewise Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 I've been trying to add motors to the Perseverance rover. The goal for this stage is to control the steering, adjusting between straight and 360° circle, and the driving, one motor per side. I've gotten the motors in the chassis and I'm using the method from the 8043 to run the movement through the turntables on each side; using an axle to provide the steering control like in the set and a gear driving ring around it to pass wheel movement through the turntable. I'm having problems coming up with how to take the movement off that gear and pass it down to the wheels though. I've also had to extend the three-long beams that mount the rockers to the turntables to make room, though I'll have to change that all together to make space for the gear to rotate and deliver wheel power. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Quote
Jurss Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 I'm afraid, there is no nice looking solutions for drive. Maybe some 3rd party micromotors in wheels. Quote
