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

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.
Having all six motors on for even one second would probably make you spin faster than you would want to. If you build a three-wheel holonomic drive you will find very quickly that it likes to turn. We had a gyro-based feedback loop keeping us from turning too much.
