Introduction

MicroTrac Prototype uses a Power Cube just like MicroTrac Prototype I, but it uses more of the LifeTrac design pattern language: bolt-together, 4x4x1/4" tubing construction, with wheel shaft mounting plates.

Design Rationale

Comments on v0.1

  • How do we interpret dimensions on v0.1 in the Blender file? Please comment. What are the basic size dimensions for the wheel base?
  • Reduce loader arm length and make it more vertical in v0.11. It's sticking too far out.
  • I think the bearings have to be on opposite sides, as 4" separation is too small, leading to large stress on motor shaft
  • Please render MicroTrac and LifeTrac next to each other for size comparison:
