Re: How's everyone doing?
To Bochek, and the rest of team 2200. I'm impressed that you've accomplished so much in so little time. Congratulations! Now that you have a working drivetrain, I highly suggest that you find a carpeted floor to test your robot on. The new grippier kitbot wheels do a great job at giving you forward traction. I think you'll find that they also do a great job of preventing your robot to turn. You may find that you need to go to 4wd to reduce your turning radius and to overcome some front end friction. Also, be sure to add some weight to your drive chassis. Doubling the weight will also double your difficulties.

Otherwise, the bot looks great. Can't wait to see how quickly you're progressing on everything else!

BEN
