Re: Optimal Wheel Placement for 4-wheel drive
If you're really set on doing 4 wheel drive, you can try replacing two wheels (front or back pairs) with omni wheels. It makes turning very easy, but it also means that you'll turn if your hit from the side a bit easier. The only real way that 4 wheel drive robots with all traction wheels can work is with wide robots where the front and back wheels are close together. Even then it's not all that great (Except for Lunacy. Then it really didn't matter where you had the wheels  )
