Re: independant 4 wheel drive
Whoa! I may just be the programmer, but I know a complex drive train when I see one (besides, all our guys are seniors but me and Dan).
We just had a CIM and a drill for each side (CIMs facing opposite, drills same). They were linked together via chain and connect to both wheels directly. All chain. in the end: 2 motors, 4 axles, 4 chains, and 2 wheels. The only problem was that we kept breaking plastic gears (6 of them in all). The steel ones we had we're just too heavy.
