Go to Post we would all build robots to play "rock-paper-scissors" if FIRST told us to, cause it is just so freakin' much fun to build a robot until 2:30am every night for six weeks! - dlavery [more]

Re: Drive Train help
With a .1" drop and a well balanced robot, you should not have troubles with being tipsy.

Make sure you drop your centers enough (would recommend .125") and balance your bot.

Re: Drive Train help
In narrow config I would say anything from .125 to .1 would be good for 8 wheel drop center.

Our team usually does a .0625 drop, but that is because we found with a 6wdc .125 rocked to violently when accelerating from stop.
