Re: Drive train and gearboxes

at the very least to get a 4WD drivetrain on your robot, you are going to have to purchase at four more sprockets to get power to the other two. we solved that problem last year by getting power to one set of wheels as shown on the video, then bolt a second sprocket to the wheel that has power and put a sprocket on the other wheel that has no power. then run chain from the transmission one of the wheels, then from that wheel to the other.

the kit only provides enough sprockets to do a 2WD, at least as far as i know and can imagine.

i hope this isnt too confusing.

**also remeber that the KOP is NOT an erector set type deal, it's just enough to get you started and on your way, but by no means "all that you need to build a robot"

good luck
