Re: one wheel drive
techinically the ideal is to have power to all points touching the floor. so a 1wd robot that has only one wheel would be cool. a kind of 3d segwayish thing... but we've had plenty of threads like the ball robot thread...
OR. are you saying have like a steerable powered wheel and 2 or more non powered wheels? like a tricycle? unless you have a lot of weiht on that 1 wheel, it wont be pushing too much.. but it would handle just like a tricycle lol.
and 4 cims for 1 tire is a lot of power.... overkill i htink. you can get away with massivly grippy tires tho... personally i like my 4wds.
