Re: 6wd bouncing when turning

This year we designed our robot to have a similar configuration to a kitbot.

The center wheels have 1/8 of an inch of drop, enough that our robot can rock slightly when placed on the carpet. Our weight is distributed towards the back of the robot so that the back four wheels are usually touching the ground. Based on everything I know about drivetrains our wheelbase shouldn't have major scrub problems, but obviously it does. Are there any simple fixes we may have overlooked?

Thanks for your help,

As said above stiffness is important in a drop wheel chassis. You could also do omins in the corners as a last ditch fix.

And always on CD a photo would help.
