My confusion is: How do you calculate distance_traveled_this_cycle if the wheels are turning at different rates?
Even worse, how do you do it with center-lowered 6 wheel drive?
Could you not simply measure the encoder rates on the lowered center wheels? Since those will always be in contact with the floor, a read off of them should be fairly accurate.


No idea about an answer to the different turning rates...not planning on using a complex positioning system this year.
