  1. VEX Drive Trains

  2. Drive Trains • Vocabulary • Skid Steering (Tank Drive) • Swerve Drive • Holonomic (Omni) Drive • Mecanum Drive

  3. Drive Train A robot’s drive train consists of all of the components used to make the robot move. • Motors • Wheels • Gears

  4. Omni-Wheels rollers around the edges allow omni-wheels to roll sideways The 4” omni-wheels are in your kits. The 3” onmi-wheels are not included.

  5. X-Wheel Drive X = how many wheels are connected to motors • Two wheel drive: two wheels are powered • Four wheel drive: four wheels are powered How many motors the robot has doesn’t matter: • The protobot has only two motors, but it is an example of four wheel drive since all four wheels are connected to motors.

  7. Skid Steering(Tank Drive) To turn, one side goes forward and the other goes backwards.

  8. Swerve/Crab Drive A swerve drive robot has the ability to rotate its wheels.

  9. Holonomic (Omni) Drive Omni wheels pointing in opposite directions allow the robot to move in any direction or spin.
