Re: TO much traction??? (ifi wheels or AM wheels)
Joe is right - if you are using 4WD with tank drive, you want your robot to be short and wide. It will turn much easier than a long and thin robot.
Another common solution to this problem is to use 'omni-wheels' on the front that have much lower lateral friction compared to longitudinal friction.
You might try swapping your high-grip front wheels out for something with a smooth tread, or grind the tread off the front tires.
