Re: 6WD questions

1/2" axles are almost a must in cantilevered robots. In our past offseasons we have bent 1/2" axles in experimental testing which has led me to believe that 3/8" cantilevered axles during competition will simply make us have a bad day.

We've used 3/8" axles when both ends of the axle are supported by the frame with the wheel somewhere in the middle.
