Re: How does the trailer affect your driving???
With about half a field's worth of Regolith so far for the Rochester Rally tomorrow (ha actually today now , and finally fixing our belt problem, I can only say that this is the most fun driving that I have ever had. We have a 4 wheel, wide base, tank drive, and the trailer actually seems to make turns easier. I am able to make pretty sharp turns, and I can actually still do burnouts quite fast. Once you get the hang of using the weight and force of the trailer to whip your robot around turns, you'll see what I mean. Its awesome!
