Re: Will your team use a "5th Wheel"?
We used a fifth wheel last year so that we could turn in the arc (to go up the ramp) in high gear without tripping the breakers with both the motors on full power. The caster was fixed at a certain angle. We are not going to do it again this year because the game does not lend itself to that.
In 2002 we lowered a caster wheel to be able to turn in high gear.
Teams that have trouble turning should seriously consider using a caster on a pneumatic to make it easier to steer, especially with the new unlimited supply of pnuematics we have to work with.
