Re: Turning with 4 kit wheels

- 4 kit wheels
- And all four wheels are geared

What can we do to smooth out the turning of the robot

thanks, btw we want something that is a easy fix
Replace the front (or rear) wheels with omni wheels.

By the way, do you have 4 Toughboxes (one for each wheel) so that all 4 wheels are independently driven, or do you have one Toughbox on each side driving a front and rear wheel via chain?
