Re: Scouting Advice? FTC to FRC help?
A lot of teams run tank drive, which is basically each side of the robot operates individually and most every team has atleast 4 CIM motors on their drive train, an quite a few have 6 causing for some very fast robots or some very powerful ones. If a team has a shifter than they can go from a gear ratio that is higher meaning more for speed, to a lower ratio for pushing power. I've seen teams do different things with tank however, one of my favorites is not dropping the center wheel and adding omni wheels on the outsides. The reason for dropping the center wheel lower than the others is so that when it is turning it is only turning on 4 wheels vs 6 causing much better turns.
