Re: Robot doesn't turn in high gear

This is a classic example of gearing. You wouldn't try to start driving your car in 4th gear would you? The engine or motor's in this case simply cannot displace that much torque from dead stall.

In this instance it doesn't really matter how the weight is distributed. The AndyMark's handle beautifully in first gear, as well as in second. The difference is, in first low speed handling is good, the handling in second gear is at the top of the power band.
