Re: Turning with 4 kit wheels

If you can't get omni wheels, the 2009 Lunacy wheels work really nice to help turn. We did this back in 2011 and it helped performance a bunch.

Re: Turning with 4 kit wheels

Frustrating that a 7th year team is still having this problem.

But yes, the problem is too much traction on too long of a wheelbase.

Either shorten the wheelbase (move the wheels closer together), which might cause tipping problems or reduce traction on one set of wheels (front or back) by swapping for lower traction wheels (2009 rover wheels, or omni wheels are likely best choices) or by adding tape or zipties to the wheels you have.

Re: Turning with 4 kit wheels

Though we are a 7th year team, because of the Ontario Strike Problems, many of our metors were not able to come back and help us out and since the team roster is all rookie....its tuff
