Re: Drivetrain help

I'd go with removing some traction at one end of the robot, too--I've seen one of the Toughbox's closer relatives, the 2006 KOP gearbox, have trouble turning a 6WD drop-center when all 6 wheels (6", in that case) were pneumatic. Replacing one end with lower-traction kit wheels worked in that case.
