Re: Moment of inertia and turning performance
Our robot was symmetrical this year. Well, not exactly symmetrical, but so much so that our driver has trouble telling one end of the robot from the other. We are using 6wd off a CIM and a FP a side. All 6 wheels are 6in performance wheels with blue nitrite tread, and the center wheels are dropped about an eighth of an inch.
We turn very easily, at least much more easily than most 6wd robots with all traction wheels. However, if you watched our robot play, you would say that it turned very jerkily. Why? The driver and the programming.
