Re: Wheelbases
Our robot this year was an 8wd with 6 inch performance wheels and blue rough-top tread from mcMaster. Our wheels were evenly spaced, 10 inches apart, with the middle wheels .125 lower than the outer wheels. The robot cannot turn in place very fast without skipping, however it can turn with a radius much less than the width of the robot. The track width is 27.75 inches, with less than 1/6 inches of clearance to the bumpers. I would recommend this drive-train to anyone, as it has worked extremely well, our gearboxes are geared for 16.4 and 6.6 ft/s
