Discussion of Drive Train

Discussion of Drive Train Design Decisions:
Decided on wheels to be purchased - 4 in. diameter wheels from ServoCity
Clearance under drive train estimated at 1.25 in. - should allow for surface compression estimated at 1 in.
Decided to re-use 218b project components: brackets, wheel mounts, axles
Discussed advantages of two sliders versus one slider (i.e., three points of contact) - three sliders means no chance of full weight of ROAMER being placed only on sliding supports
Bottom-mounted drive trains will allow maximum clearance and additional room for electronics components resting on base
