Re: Drive Train and wheels

As a first year team I was just planning on running a 4WD Robot with the KOP wheels. With help from 1086, we turned it into 6WD bot with the KOP wheels. We used the KOP frame and set the center wheel 1/4" below the other wheels.

During the VCU regional, we were very manuverable, ran about 7 ft/sec and we had GREAT pushing power. I would highly recommend this same setup to anyone.
