Re: Kettering University Ri3D

I think your approach is actually pretty awesome. Everyone I talk to seems hell-bent on using pneumatic wheels, when in reality some tweaks in geometry is all you need. I'd recommend some skids on the bottom of the robot to prevent bottoming out and attack some of the taller obstacles with more lateral acceleration. Can't wait to see the robot powered up!
