Re: Moment of inertia and turning performance
We usually do a 6wd with a 1/8 inch drop center and roughtop tread on all wheels. Our robots always turn smooth as silk but this years robot didn't turn well at all. I think our weight was too centered over the middle wheels. we were able to bolt a 7 pound weight to the back of the robot which completely cured it. With a 1/8 drop center those front wheels are really close to the carpet and I think you need to keep them from grabbing as much as possible for smooth turning.
