Considering that the KOP drivebase kind of locks you in to a 1/8" center drop, do you have any recommendations to mitigate this? I don't really see a way to increase the drop with the holes currently in the side plates, but 1/8" sounds like it would have serious issues turning....

I saw a bot in 2012 using pneumatic wheels with about an 1/8th inch drop and they used duct tape over the front set of wheels to help it turn.

Re: Andymark pneumatic wheel diameter?

For the Team [Redacted] Ri3D robot we used the pneumatic wheel kit provided to us by AndyMark and do not have any problems turning. Note however that the robot is very light (sorry haven't weighed it yet) and we assembled it using the belts included in the AM14U3 chassis kit that are for the "square" configuration and did not use the belts that come with the pneumatic wheel kit that are designed for a longer configuration. I believe that is what 'Snow Problem did with their AM14U3 and pneumatic wheel kit.

Unfortunately we don't have any video up at this point of the robot turning. I believe we will have some in our reveal video which should post today.
