Re: H-Drive Strafing issues

We tried strafe with H-drive in 2015, using a hard chassis mount. No matter how high or low we put it, it never worked right. Off season, we used a pneumatic cylinder to apply a steady force to it, and it worked first try. Springs can also work, I understand. The force on that wheel should be roughly between 20% and 35% of the weight of your robot, depending on how much strafe force you want and how much forward drive force you're willing to give up while you strafe.
