Depends on how you look at the drop. Because we took 1/16th off of both ends and the robot is weighted towards the back there is 1/8in of clearance between one set of wheels and the floor. Another way people look at it is by how much lower the middle wheel is in relation to the other wheels. I've heard it explained both ways.
Ahh ok. I haven't heard of the first way.
