Re: Effective Drive Base

Our team has mainly had problems with the KoP chassis while using 4 wheel drive. The robot consistently hopped 4-6 inches off the ground. This was done with high traction wheels, which may have been the problem. This hop was greatly reduced with a welded chassis instead.

The turning with a 4WD, in our team's opinion, has never been superb.8WD would be much more efficient, and easier to travel over the bump as well.
