belt broke
A belt snapped on the Oshkosh motion simulator after 1,000 hours of use. They fixed it by tipping the rig onto its back, removing the legs, and replacing the belt.
- ⚙️ The simulator uses three Technic Inc. servo motors capable of 180° per second movement.
- ⚙️ A worm gear prevents back-driving the servo, and an omega drive system makes it quiet.
- ⚙️ A slip ring, typically used for windmills, allows continuous power without cable twisting.
- ⚙️ The rig's "brains" (a laptop) are mounted directly on it to avoid complex peripheral slip rings.
- ⚙️ The miniature canyon demo was made from XPS foam, real rocks, dirt, and glue, designed to look like Utah.
