Figure 3-37: Dual Array (Tandem) Wheeled Puck Payload vs. Velocity
The 2-wheel puck with one magnet array, which is shown in Figure 3-38, is used in the tan-
dem puck as shown in Figure 3-35. These pucks are available separately for use with user
designed linkage plates to create custom tandem pucks. They must be used in a tandem con-
figuration to keep the puck from pivoting around the axle, which helps prevent the magnet
array from impacting the motor.
