It may seem optimistic when you are driving just the robot, but as Paul said, it is just PAINFUL to drive with the trailer on.
Really? We've had a different experience. I find driving with the trailer is more enjoyable. Sure, there is a slight loss of control at first, but once you get the hang of it you can pull some really nifty tricks. That said, you need a pretty big practice area to get the hang of driving the thing. From a dead stop, driving really slowly we can barely make an about face on two sheets (with the trailer on).
