Re: pic: 1683 Concept 8 Wheel Drive

Something you might want to consider is that if there is to be weight on the robot, you want it as low as possible....so having a heavy chassis and heavy wheels may be a good thing, not a bad thing. It forces you to keep weight off the top of the robot--the result is that your robot will spend it's life upright, on it's wheels, rather than falling over and laying immobile on it's side.
