fun with machine tools

These are the main drive shafts. They're turned from 1" round 6061. One end is 1" diameter with a 0.348" radius 5 hole 4-40 bolt circle; this matches the wheels. The middle is turned to exactly 0.375" to fit a ball bearing that is set in the outer rib. The other end is drilled out to 6mm to fit the motors and has a 6-32 cross drill -- clearance hole on one side and tapped on the other -- which matches the hole in the motor shaft. These are definitely the most labor intensive part of the robot so far.
