Re: Motor Placement Pros and Cons

Hi Greg,

Thank you for the comments. This helps. I had never heard of a setup like this before and wondered if any other team had tried it or considered it. No direct drive was in this latest plan. I have visions of the the chassis moving diagonal. But I know I am biased from a programmer perspective - hoping this approach doesn't make the chassis veer off to one side or making one turn difficult that we have to get creative modifying code to make up difference for - so asking for other input. I really appreciate everyone's responses on this. I'm looking for the pro that makes this approach worth taking the risks. My concerns may be total nonissues. But warp on the frame is a big concern. This helps a lot.
