although it's a moot point now that our florida regional is over, our robot had a two wheel drivetrain with caster wheels in the front. We had two large bicycle wheels in the back, each with 1 CIM Motor and 1 AndyMarks Gearbox. When speaking with an engineer from Team 79 (Krunch), he said that our wheels did not have enough torque. We would tether it up and be driving it full speed forward and he could completely stop it by pressing it down. We tried everything from all-or-nothing driving (any push of the joystick results in full speed for the motor) to taping the wheels with electrical tape to reduce traction. Attached is a photo of our robot. This issue was so upsetting because, due to favorable matchups in the qualifying round, we had a real chance of being a top seed. We ended up 5-3 and 16th and not getting picked.
