H-wheel Question
Hi all,

This is our first time going with an H-drive system and we are having a problem with our center wheel for our drive losing traction to the ground preventing us from strafing. It is currently being tensioned towards the ground with ~20 lbs of force using constant force springs.

Sometimes the wheel grabs and we move, but other times it completely slips and we go nowhere. Are we using enough force? Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the input!
