Just be careful: that means the edge of your center wheels will be moving faster than the edge of your outside wheels. This could cause some weird driving experiences as the bot "rocks" slightly, putting more weight on the front, back, or center wheels.


Also, what are the giant holes in your bellypan for? Is there a mechanism being designed to go there?
