Hello @MKD93 and welcome to the RobotSjop community,
I’m not an expert in mechanics and I haven’t seen many mono track robots so I’m afraid I won’t be able to answer you questions but I thought you might be interested in these threads:
Hi everyone, I have been gone for a while wrapping up my degree, but now that I have graduated I wanted to post some of my recent robot projects. This one has been complete for a while now, and I hope you enjoy it!
Nagaina is a twelve degree of freedom snake robot designed, built, and programmed by me. Nagaina’s kinematics allow for autonomous or manual control schemes. The head contains three sonar and one IR sensor for detecting dangers (obstacles or falls). The passive wheels are on small s…
That’s really cool that you built one too! I’ll be sure to post updates here, since I’ve mostly sourced the parts now and just need to print and assemble the first skeleton prototype. This robot actually uses wheels to “skate”, so it has a different mode of motion than robots with equal friction coefficients in every direction.
