when is the new vid up?

hey canmopants it isnt going to break the chain is going to make the robot hop because the from wheel is going to go like 3 times faster than the back wheels

[QuakeInceptrix]

@iprotabori lol, both of you guys are wrong. It worked like a charm. It is just faster. BTW the gear ratio is 4:1. The chain is not broken. The robot does not hope. The only thing it does is it moves faster than with the normal ratio's.

JIM WHY YOU DO THIS

btw get mw3 plez

[WizableMagic]

@MichealCoffee Ian I do this because this guy on youtube asked me for a design tutorial. So I really do not get what you are trying to say.

[MichealCoffee]

why are you doing this jim lol

[CANmoPants]

Might want to reconsider, the difference in gear ratios will break the chain, because the front wheel will try to go faster than the rear wheels.

:C am i being clear enough??

[QuakeInceptrix]

@CANmoPants Well, that proves quite interesting. The chain is much stronger than the normal ones. It is a high strength chain allowing it to hold up to 50 pounds of strain. I highly doubt it will break, anyways i can always change the design.

@QuakeInceptrix Have you stress-tested this design under match conditions? (for example, pushing and such)

[QuakeInceptrix]

@IoMidorihana Yes.
