Re: pic: Exposed Side view of 269's gearbox

We used some Armoral on the AM FIRST Wheels for turning use. In the case which the robot is unable to move forward, the wheels would just spin.

There is a lot of axle load, but it equivilates to a lot of torque. If we were to use something like an IFI traction wheel, we would probably need to consider a safety option. We would also have a lot more pushing power however.
