Re: Victor 888/Talon SR Weird Issue (Drivetrain)

It would be easier to train your human drivers to only attempt to turn while also traveling forward or backwards rather than trying to turn in place.
That takes less energy.

Reducing your wheel diameter would also work, however that would probably mean you couldn't get over some defenses.
The problem started when you probably sized the KOP drivetrain up to 8" diameter wheels thereby increasing your overall drive ratio.
