Re: Minibot wheel slip

We're still getting some slippage (the minibot falls down the pole a little but keeps going) with 2 motors and 4 wheels and enough magnets to almost pull the pole out of the base (exaggeration, but you get what I mean). It's the wheels itself, and that is definitely on our radar.

As for suggestions, try putting two motors on it, more torque > more pushing power, if you can afford the weight/space. As for wheel modifications, I don't know anything for sure.
