Re: More Wheels?

i meant to get a closer look at SPAM's robot (180) at Florida but I believe they have, in addition to their normal drive and a fan, a set of wheels possitioned perpendicular to the others and they would pneumatically lower the wheels. these were mainly for a semi-swerve affect, but i suppose could be used as a break. I'm sorry i dont have a better explaination i only saw it from the stands.
