Sample Drivetrains

In this section, we compile several sample drivetrains which you can use as a starting point for your own designs. You should also check the gallery of robot designs in the Appendix.

goBILDA strafer chassis

Basic mecanum chassis by goBILDA. Simple and easy to build chassis, providing an excellent starting point for robots built from goBILDA parts.

goBILDA BeeLine Chassis

Basic 6 wheel drive chassis by goBILDA. Simple and easy to build chassis, providing an excellent starting point for robots built from goBILDA parts.

Strafer chassis with Dead Wheels

Modification of goBILDA chassis by FTC® 9794 Wizards.exe, which adds dead wheels. Also see their video tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjNvAD350M4&list=PLICNg-rquurYgWAQGhu6iC0At75vgqFJp

REV Robotics 6 wheel drivetrain
