Re: 2008 and drivetrains

Our team did car steering last year and found some troubles. For one you deffinatly DON'T want to use servos. When we got to worlds, they constatly cut out and left us with no steering. If you used a rack and pinnion Your robot could be reliable, agile, and fast with a good drive train.

This year we are thinking of using omni, but the 45 degree settings would cause a 30% efficency reduction on them. Any imputs?
