Re: Bouncing turns

My team, 177, has perrenially had this issue we finally broke down and made omniwheels for the rear. Our experience shows that having lower friction in the rear wheels increases manueverabilty while retaining control compared to the fronts. Most teams who saw our bot at the UTC scrimmage can attest to it's speed and manueverabilty with these wheels. We were also never at a loss for traction.
