Re: What drivetrain did you do?

We were seriously considering an Ackermann set up, but then our programers figured out how to make a 6wd robot drive like one, so we just built a 6wd bot.

We had fun designing it, too. We aimed for super simplicity: the frame is made of four lengths of c-channel, and the wheels sit on protruding bolts. Very light and easy to fix.
