Re: 4" vs. 6" vs. 8" wheels. Advantages?
So now for an odd addition to the question(s):
Since wider wheels do seem to improve traction so much, and smaller diameter wheels seem to have a decent advantage over larger diameter wheels, what happens if we go to extremes a bit? Say, a 3" wide X 3.5" dia. wheel with rough-top. Would there be enough variation in the speed of the wheel, from it's inner edge to it's outer edge, while turning the robot, to be a problem?
