Re: pic: Off season teaser 1

Sorry, I didn't realize what the pink sprockets were there for, so you can disregard comments 2 and 3. Just another comment, you will be limited in your strafing, specifically in strafes exactly left and right, or near those angles. This is countered though, by your easily achieved Ackerman steering, that needs very little programming. After my little revelation, I have realized that this is actually a rather viable drive train, once comment 1 has been fixed, to allow teams with very little resources and time, to achieve a drive train that acts like 6 wheels swerve, without the ability to strafe perpendicular the the robot, and to turn on the spot, like swerve and 6 wheel. With improvements, this could become something a lot like octocanum, giveing close to the best of both worlds.
