Its a simple and easy drive system. This year we decided not to waste a lot of time on working on complicated design. We rather decided to spend more time on the Body part, because it was sort of complicated. Pictures of the body will be up soon.


just a question. Have you had problems with your chain slipping? The back wheels look like they only have about 70 degrees of chain contact with the sprocket. If you haven't i would try testing your bot under load (pushing against a wall or another heavy object and see if they skip. From experience i always aim for a full 180 degrees but never less then 90.
