Re: Unstable AM14U2 Chassis

As I described in my drivetrain class at our "robocamp" [mostly] for the incoming freshmen this summer -- the drop-center tank drive train gives the advantages of a short wheelbase for turning, and the advantages of a long wheelbase for stability (which I defined as not falling over in a hard acceleration or brake).
