Re: Tri Star Wheels

I considered making a drive with a set of those during he offseason, but I can't see their advantage for the given complexity in the build season. There are much simpler ways to go over the bump. However, if you have the weight, resources, and skill to build it without compromising the rest of the robot, it would be really cool.

Just a question, how do you prevent the wheel module from rotating when you don't want it to (pushing match), or coordinate the two sides of the chassis?
