Re: Interesting Drive Train Idea...

I'm thinking it might be useful to use 3 motors with something with very high traction such as tank treads. This will allow the robot to be an insanely effective defender.

With perhaps, 4 motors on each side(2 smalls, 1 large, 1 fisher-price) and heavy treads - i'd hate to get into a pushing match against it.
