Re: Turning; easier one way or the other?

1) The wheels on the 24" sides
2) The wheels on the 30" sides

For the basics, wheels on the 24 side will have much easier turning than the 30..because of their distance apart. This can make a big difference based on the wheels your using. If you plan on using pneumatic wheels like the ones provided in the kit, your best off going with 24. Even that isn't too great. We did tests with different wheels on a robot this year, and were barely able to turn with those the 24" way. All they did were skip, and eat up our battery.
