Re: Turning with 4 kit wheels

Frustrating that a 7th year team is still having this problem.

But yes, the problem is too much traction on too long of a wheelbase.

Either shorten the wheelbase (move the wheels closer together), which might cause tipping problems or reduce traction on one set of wheels (front or back) by swapping for lower traction wheels (2009 rover wheels, or omni wheels are likely best choices) or by adding tape or zipties to the wheels you have.
