Re: Moment of inertia and turning performance
Building on what Bryan said...
CoG is a very overlooked thing in 6WD/8WD design. Its important to really consider where the approximate CoG of your robot will be as its being designed. This becomes especially true as you begin to build taller structures on top of your drive system. Weight higher up will tend to amplify the issues you are seeing with turning performance.
