Re: do tracks and wheels together make a better robot?
we were talking about tank treads that do not have idler wheels. The photos posted in this thread are the 1st bots Ive seen that do have idler wheels (the right way to use threads)
un-necessary 3 motor designs are designs that dont need 3 motors on each side -it depends on what else the drive train can do. If a bot can spin its wheels against a wall, then putting more motors on it does nothing but spin the wheels faster
and spinning the wheels faster does not give you any additional pushing force.
