Re: Our tread

Ideas if you stil have problems:

Make the center wheels about 1/4" lower than the outside ones.

Remove the tread from the outside wheels.


Also, a tip for later builds - you can drill several holes in those sprockets to remove weight. You can cut 20 - 30% of the weight from them and still get good performance. With 8 on the robot, it can add up to a significant weight savings.
