Re: Lowered Center Wheel for 6 wheel drive
We've been debating using a Nascar technique to robot design. After having realized that the most efficient setup for a 6 wheel robot is to lower the center wheel, we statistically analyzed all of our matches and noted that we turn left much more than we turn right, and as such we are considering making the wheels on the right hand side a tad bit thicker (perhaps a few mm), and having the left hand train on a slight angle < 3 degrees. This compensates for the drag of the wheels when turning and allows for much faster game play.
