Re: pic: Its twins - prototype drives

What is the weight of one pod as configured in the picture?

It hard to tell, but it appears you only have a few degrees of chain wrap powering the outside set of 4" wheels - definitely less than 90 degrees. You'll get bad wear on that sprocket.

As others have stated, your 6" wheels are touching the ground. Turning on carpet will give you trouble.

Keep working on the prototype and let us know how it performs.
