Hub Motor BattleBot
Reclaiming chassis volume in a 3-lb combat robot by integrating the motor into the wheel.
Redesigning the drivetrain of a 3-lb combat robot around a hub motor — rotor and wheel as one assembly — for higher power density and freed internal space.
The build uses 27:1 planetary gearboxes, optimized bearing and mounting interfaces, and FEA validation of the load path.
