I'd love to see legged robots in FIRST, but i don't see it happening unless there is a "double" terrain, where legged robots can go, but if your robot has only wheels it might not be able to traverse that area.
You bring that up, so I will ask this, will the wheel's torque go up if you use multiple motors to power the same wheel?
