Re: Mount Middle Slide Wheel

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you were to move your center wheels to be in between your other two sets at 90 degrees, you would not need a suspension.

This design does require extra weight, with an extra gearbox, wheel, and support, because you need a center wheel on both ends of the robot but as a team with less build capabilities we found it to be easier to implement than a suspension.

Am I missing anything with this?
