Re: pic: High Traction Drivetrain Concept

I don't know if anybody else asked this but, what is the likelihood of it tearing up the carpet? I know that the drivetrain isn't like ours from this year in the sense that we used tank treads instead of a wheel-based drive, but our drivetrain had a lot of traction, and when combined with the high torque that we had, our treads tore up the carpet a few times, resulting in a few deactivations. We later combatted this by reducing the top speed of the robot so our deceleration wouldn't be as fast, and reducing the amount of torque. I don't know if you've already considered that, but I really like your design and I don't want it to run into trouble should you wind up using it!
