Re: 4WD Turning Difficulties

We slightly modified our fal prototype base so it is 4wd, skid steer. It does not turn as well as we would think, but it does turn, but slowly. If you drive it forwards a bit, then start turning it turns much better. We have not driven it with a trailer as of yet, but on the playing surface it may not be a huge problem, besides the fact that the weight of the trailer may pull the back end of the robot a little bit.

Oh, and the robot drifts. A lot.
