| Apr 3, 2021 at 14:36 | comment | added | Abel | You do realize that being out of phase adds 0 additional complexity right? Being out of phase does not mean that you turn in the opposite direction. | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 14:18 | comment | added | Ahmed Mustafa | @Abel The main problem is basically achieving the triangular configuration as shown above. Otherwise it would have been pretty easy to do with a chain sprocket mechanism and some axles | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 14:16 | comment | added | Ahmed Mustafa | @PeteW how will that help achieve the triangular configuration as shown above? | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 14:05 | comment | added | Abel | if you are just trying to link 'wheels' it should be pretty simple. High schoolers usually use chain and pulleys to link on the same side and drive shafts to cross from one side to another. If you are trying to gear down motors in a compact space, that's where things can get interesting. | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 13:54 | comment | added | Pete W | If you always want wheels on opposite sides to be 180 degrees out of phase, why not just use ordinary axles linked to a common drive shaft, and rotate the wheel mounting 180 degrees as necessary? I.e. why 2 motors? | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 13:34 | comment | added | Ahmed Mustafa | I certainly hope so, I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering :p I do have some designs on my sheets to that might work but they certainly lack simplicity or seem a little overkill, I was wondering if there was a standard solution to this which I could find to implement | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 13:13 | comment | added | joojaa | Do you have any idea how gears work? | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 12:31 | comment | added | Ahmed Mustafa | Can you help me with some resources or hints which could help me figure this out? I have no problem figuring this out myself that would be a fun exercise, I am just blank as to where to start and who to ask | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 12:28 | comment | added | Solar Mike | And getting that to happen from one motor is the critical part... | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 12:26 | comment | added | Ahmed Mustafa | No this is not the thinking part of the exercise. My professor is just interested if we understand the sequence of motion of the legs since this is a Mobile Robotics course. I could just animate the wheels without focusing on the mechanism driving it but I want to take a more practical approach. | |
| Apr 3, 2021 at 12:10 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Do you think that is the thinking part of the exercise? So perhaps we can comment on what you suggest. | |
