That looks cool! How does it work? Has it helped, or is having a suspension on only 1 wheel not enough?

It works pretty good! Sticking suspension on the one back wheel gives the two front drive wheels somewhat even pressure. Before it was way out of wack, and going over uneven floors made it even worse. Now it appears that it can keep both drive wheels firmly planted at all times.

The best part is that we only had to drill one hole in the robot. :)

Well that depends on your perspective. ;)
Sometimes drilling holes is a good thing.

If you've seen the entire bot you would know it already has enough holes. (that's what happens when you are 40 punds overeight 3 days before ship date)
