Re: Long vs. Wide Drivebase
Our team was wondering if we could climb over the bump/barrier with 6 8" wheels. We were thinking of making a robot that is slightly wide, maybe 28 x 32. In that case we would have some of the advantages of a wide chassis (and would fit on the bridge better), but hopefully it wouldn't be as tippy as a robot that was, say, 28 x 38. Of course, 8" wheels may not be able to get over the barrier, and that will become a big issue for a lot of teams as the build season goes by. If 8" wheels don't work we may have to try something weirder, like 8 6" wheels or something.
