Re: Rookie Team 3111 Week 1 Robot.

Yes you really should power all of the wheels. Right now you are losing approximately half of your available force. Also just a word of advice, regolith has much less friction than a floor like what you are driving on. We did tests yesterday and it takes about 25% longer to accelerate to the same speed on regolith versus linoleum.

Other then that, great job guys!! Have a driving robot early will be a huge part of this competition so good luck.
