Re: Team 4096 Grasshopper Drive design

If the air runs out, which drive is the default?

Also, getting the proper weight load on the strafe wheel of an H drive isn't as easy as putting all of the wheels in the same plane. If making a(other)n H drive, I would put springs or a piston to push the strafe wheel down so that the load on the strafe wheel could be adjusted according to driving needs.
