Hello all, I am getting back in the saddle making robots now that I am moved into my new home and settled into my new job as a technician maintaining the Fiber Optics network in Chattanooga TN.

Ok, so I received the spacer kit and I am now waiting to find the aluminum sprockets and metal #25 chain. If I cannot find it before Monday I will place another order.
Until I have metal versions these plastic ones should allow me to start fitting the pieces together. I will need to get matching screws at the hardware store to put it all together.
Ok I shortened the chain to test the rolling movement of the sprockets, looks like they are good to go even without an idler

Looking good and I love the two little shocks absorbers!
Chris.
Ha ha, thanks. I have a few sets. Amazing what you can buy direct from china for a few dollars.
Update:
The plastic on the top of the mower needs to be cut back so I can get it all the way down on top of the motors.
The metal brackets need to be shorten about 1 inch to make the mower top easier to add and remove.
The plastic chain should work for now , but once I can get the mounts fully on the motors I will use the 1 ft links to make a metal .25" chain.
Coming together nicely. Your work is so clean and impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing this run around your yard!
Have you considered that only having one rear wheel drive would possibly cause the mower to angle slightly to one side as it pushes and drives the unit forward? You would have to keep correcting the steering to keep it driving in a stright line. Dual rear drive would keep this from happening (or move the drive to the front). Hope I'm wrong.
Hey Dave , I plan of both right and left motors driving forward at the same time. I imagine without him both it may have issues on uneven grass or mole hills.
