Re: What type of drive train did you make this year?

Well, there was a 2 wheel robot at Sacto. I don't remember whose it was, but it was fairly simple. They had one pneumatic tire on each side but only around 1/4-1/2 inch clearance. They files down all the edges and actually made thier base somewhat like a trapezoid so there were no acute angle touching the ground. It seemed to be surprisingly stable and had an awesome turning radius (read: 0).
