Re: Robot Pre-View

I hope those wheels are a joke. If not then adding wheels does not increase traction. Traction is only influenced by the normal force and the coefficient of friction. Also it looks like the front wheels are unpowered which would decrease your total force you can apply as well. Basically. The amount of wheels doesn't matter this year, and all of the wheels should be powered for the maximum usage of available traction.
