Complete tread module assembly


Here is the 3D model of the complete tread module assembly. There will be one of each on each side of the robot. The module consists of a 6 inch diameter drive wheel in the center that is driven by a motor through a gearbox. The drive wheel drives the rubber tread that wraps around the module. On the bottom of the module are 8 idlers (unpowered wheels) that act as the robot's suspension system. This system is designed to allow the robot to efficiently maneuver through rough terrain and drive over small obstacles.
