Re: Will 4 8" pneumatic tires work?

Would 2 transmissions and four motors be enough to make reasonable turns?

I wouldn't trust our Ri3D robot on carpet. 6 pneumatic wheels with a drop center is highly preferable to a 4 wheel drive for a number of reasons, scrub being one of them. Another reason for 6 would be that it would have an easier time traversing defenses as shown by many of the Ri3D teams.
