Jon,
As part of your video tests, can you run a test of the Rhino track system being pushed sideways by another robot (both at 140lbs)? Specifically:
Robot A - Rhino Tracks (~140lbs)
Robot B - Kitbot (~140lbs)
Robot B pushes square onto the side of Robot A.
Robot A does not move.
As Robot B pushes Robot A, Robot A attempts to drive forward/backward.
If you could test the above scenario, that would be awesome!
Thanks,
-Mike
