Re: TO much traction??? (ifi wheels or AM wheels)

Our team's solution was to mount casters to a pancake cylinder to "pop" the robot up 1/4" and allow smooth turning. With clever programming, this is transparent to the driver - the result is moving straight or sitting still gives the support of high traction tires and we can spin on a dime.
