Re: paper: Kitbot Bending Analysis

We are continuing to struggle with the same chain issues. We thought we had traumatized the frame by our elevating technique; unfortunately it appears that simply driving the robot creates stress. This will be great strategic knowledge to implement at IRI.
I'm curious - what types of wheels did you use? We have slicks in front and stickies in back; I'm convinced the extra grip in the stickies can exaggerate the frame bending. Do you feel the same way?
