Re: Drive Train

if you are ready to do some digging you can look up on the 92 game (the first FIRST competition ever) maize craze. in that game they used corn husks instead of carpet. From what i know they used 6 wheel drive trains with extra wide wheels to spread out the weight of the robot.

The only other advice i would have for you is to look at off road vehicles and figure out a way to incorporate large wheels with shocks if you truly want an all-terrain robot.
