Power Summary
Everything from Stage 1B in one place — and where power design goes next.
01
What You Learned
You can now model a working power transmission.
- Speed, torque, and mechanical advantage.
- Motors, bearings, shafts, gears, chain, and belts.
- Three gearboxes, simple to combined.
Your New Tools
AltSkripts
- Belt Generator (belts & chain)
- Shaft Endings (shafts)
- Part Lighten (weight)
- C-C Distance (spacing)
Habits
- Layout sketch drives the box
- Constrain by pitch diameter
- Lighten last
- Insert COTS from FRC-COTS
02
What's Next
Apply it to real mechanisms.
- Stage 1C: model real mechanisms with more COTS and tools.
- Stage 2: actually DESIGN transmissions — pick motors and ratios.
- You've got the modeling foundation now.
Recap
POWER, SUMMED UP
- Torque/speed, motors, shafts, gears, belts, chain
- AltSkripts: Belt Gen, Shaft Endings, Part Lighten, C-C
- Layout-driven, lighten last
- Next: 1C mechanisms, then Stage 2 design
Your Task
Build this
