Re: Has anybody

We did such a thing in 2002. We used a 5th wheel, mounted in the center of the robot. It used a third drill motor to give us some extra pushing power in low gear. Basically, we made a little frame for it, mounted up the wheel and motor, put the whole thing on a hinge, then used the cylinder to push it down into contact with the carpet. I will look for some pictures. Unfortunately, I dont have any on this computer.
