Re: Best Form Of Six Wheel Drive?
After 3 years of playing with the idea we finally got what team 501 found to be the best possible drivetrain for us. 4 close grouped 8in by 2in wide high traction wheels at the back and 2 8in powered omnis at the front. It makes the robots center of turning at the back but this helps us in this years game. The layout is powered with 4 small cims and 2 2speed transmissions. This design has already helped us win a regional as well as part of the GM Motors Industrial Motors award this year.
