That's because 25 runs their wheels along the short side of the robot. For robots who run theirs along the long side of the robot, then I suggest a 0.125" to 0.20" drop in the center wheel.

Andy, I agree with you for their 2003 year, but...

03 short side
04 Long side, without full use of entire side due to step pop up mechanism.
05 long side
06 long side

Re: Robots tilt
 

i put a 1/4" space between the outside and inside wheels is that enough/too much?

Re: Robots tilt
 

Yes, I spoke too soon. Big Mike AIMed me with a correction also.

In a general sense, I would suggest less. 0.2" should be fine for most cases.

This situation REALLY depends on the robot's Center of Gravity (Cg). Again, generally speaking, a robot with a higher Cg needs more "tilt" difference between the vertical location of the outside wheels and the inside wheel. Robots with a lower Cg will turn OK without a difference, but robots with higher Cg will jump and wobble as they try to turn with no difference.
