Three wheels, 1/4" apart, 10/3/8" compression, no non slip angle
Ratios of gear boxes go 5 to 1, 4 to 1, 1 to 1 order of motors is Bag, am, bag
We are getting flexing in the base, will improve in final design
Tried non slip surface on angle not much difference, Orange flat rubber, wheel tread, tape ect....
The farthest we can shoot is 27 feet
