Re: Low-Rider Robots
I believe our ground clearance is around an inch. We would go either a little lower or a little higher (to drive in goals) but the ground clearance is dictated by our wheel size and frame design which is dictated by our gearbox output speed. We did some real world tests and we feel that on a flat playing field, the CG does not have to be quite as low as we thought to remain stable. So, an inch it is.
