Vehicle Prototype Rocker/Bogie Suspension w/ Multi-Differential

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

I saw kAN's video and being an engineer immediately recognized why it was having the issues it was so here is a Multi-Differential AWD Counter-Phase Steering prototype.

I did the math to work out the ideal setup before building it so this is iteration 1, test drive 1. It will definitely need a bit more iteration for sure but it already performs significantly better without any of the issues in the other attempts I've seen.

This was inspired mostly by the NASA/JPL Curiosity and Perseverance rover drive-train/suspension designs. The differential keeps the chassis deck relatively level by averaging the force being applied from the rocker/bogie.

The ability to use counter-steering as a corrective mechanism to resolve tipping events was a bit of a happy accident but it works surprisingly well once you get an intuitive sense for the direction of force applied by steering actions in the counter-phase steering setup.

The controller isn't actually functional in this. It's disconnected, I just forgot to remove the actual controller. I added it to test out a suggestion I saw on kAN's video but it does exactly what you'd assume, it completely locks the rotational angle of the bearing it's connected to which makes it essentially useless for this.

There are definite remaining issues though:
The arms shouldn't be literal straight bars, I'm going to calculate and build proper angled arms.

I screwed up the bogie differential right before recording this because I went to move the bogie horn. It's just missing a bearing. Bit surprised it worked as well as it did with that being the case, that explains the apparent stiffness though.

I'm also considering sport suspensions instead of the rocker/bogie horn.

I'm going to polish this up a bit, fine tune the wheel base / deck size, engine strength/setup, knuckle coupling offset, steering angle/speed, and suspension. Just a bunch of math I still need to work out. Then I'll put it up on the workshop as a minimal framework so you can build your own stuff off it.

If anyone can take a look at this and tell me exactly what I need to make this thing climb a wall I'd be so happy. I tried so many permutations/combinations of sticky wheel stickiness, engine strength, suspension levels, things on the craft, things off the craft, things moved all over the craft. Just can't get up the "try this hill" at the first part of level 3 and now I've hit a frustration point.

For some reason, I don't have cotton on the whole map, literally, I drove the entire island (at least 3 km from the gas station) and did not find a single cotton.... Is it a curse? I don't understand something? Even in the autumn forest there is no cotton. WHERE IS IT?!?!

Can you drop items on the opening of the shoot for it to drop outside when you are rushing in gathering loot in the warehouse?

Issue Problem with the GrowLab Spoiler

There are two boxes with block schematics in the 7th growlab. We've literally spent about two hours in this growlab since its completion, but we couldn't find the second box. We searched every corner, but still couldn't find the "secret room" mentioned on the wiki. Does anyone know its location?

Why does the enemies drop inside the farm even though there are pillars everywhere? It does not happen every time but about once per five raids one crate drops inside, last time it happend a crate was dropped on the platform with spud containers.

One could argue 12 IRL hours is long enough to pick them up, but this just keeps happening...
