Re: Robot Base

You could do:
-Timing belts
-V-Belts
-Lots of idler gears
-Friction drive through and idler wheel
-Use 1 motor+transmission on each wheel in 6wd (4 cims + 2 fisher price)
-Drive shafts + bevel/helical gears
-4-bar linkage between the wheels (think locomotive)

Just a couple ideas, I'm sure some are better than others.
