Re: 6 CIM Drivetrains... What's Your Experience?

You said... would have been hard to control... so how did you solve it to where it didn't turn all the motors on full (or where the wheels didn't spin) so quickly? Was this a mechanical or software solution? If software... please elaborate... thanks.

BTW... this is the first video I've seen where 1114 successfully climbs... thanks for including it... I've been wanting to see that for quite some time.
