Re: wheels need to be balanced perfectly?

isn't the FRP sheeting sitting on carpet? so it will deform some with the weight of the robot on it, and the wheels will mostly all make contact (although a drop center wheel 6WD robot will always have more weight on the center wheels).

If you design the robot so the chassis can twist, like the kit frame will, then it may not be an issue because of that.
