Re: How can you make turning smoother?

The bumpers must stay within the bumper zone when the robot is flat on the floor.
4.1.6.4 R25
BUMPERS must be located entirely within the BUMPER ZONE, which is between 2 and 10 in. from the floor, in reference to the ROBOT standing normally on a flat floor.
Any robot using the six wheel (or more) dropped center, will rock and so will the bumpers. When climbing,pushing or interacting with the pyramid, the robot is expected to change attitude ans so too the bumpers. Also bumpers do not need to be parallel to the floor if that helps in your design.
Does that help?
