Re: The Center Wheel
i am 90% sure 233 drops their center wheel, just very slightly.
we have always dropped the center wheel. Depending on how far u drop it and how your CG is situated your bot will rock. I find this to be the best way to do tank drive. i personally hate the omni wheels in the corners as they make the bot far to easy to spin (from a defenders point of view). You can make a robot just a maneuverable and many times stronger by dropping the center wheel and putting real wheels on the corners.
