Re: Mounting of drive system

I'm actually planning on doing a bearingless pillow block style design this year (assuming the game calls for 6WD). Here's why: with a hole through the frame, you have to decide on the how much lower the centre wheel is when you make the frame; however, with a pillow-block style design, shims can be used to adjust the lowering. Since the amount of lowering is adjustable, we can then test for what gives us the best driveability. (It could also allow us to adjust the lowering before every match, but I'd rather avoid the trouble of doing that by just picking a good amount and sticking with it)
