Re: pic: Drivetrain Side View

Just a few thoughts as 229 had a drive similar to this for triple play. Are you using a solid chain linking all the wheels together. We decided that we should use 2 chains one mid wheel to front wheel and one mid wheel to back wheel. in case one breaks you still have 2 wheels driving. Also if you use this in a game try to keep the robot balanced front to back otherwise you ed up with massive tread wear. But other than that great design, good luck in '07'
