well as long as it has motors attached and wired (which it does) yes... the carpet used is very thin (think school/industrial carpet) and its only real purpose it do keep the robot from scratching the floor

By "work" I think he's referring more to the inability of a long wheelbase 4wd robot to turn on carpet. Any team that's ever had a 4wd robot drive great on their school's vinyl floors, only to get to competition and find that they can't turn well, if at all. A 6wd dropped center would fare much better, as Dan mentioned.

Quick question: Anyone know where to find the Modulox mounts for the Andymark PG71 motor? Or did you guys machine your own mount?

The FlexHub Flanges and #25 Chain Sprocket are available on AndyMark now. The Modulox PG gearbox mounts should be available soon, they have stock so check back frequently for the product page is available.

The Modulox PG Mount will mount the entire PG series such as the PG 27 used on the Indexer, and PG 188 used on the winch.
