Mount Middle Slide Wheel

[Arpan]

3061 is using a 'fork' style suspension where the gearbox drives one of two wheels into the ground. We like it because unlike spring systems it does not take weight off of our drive wheels when the strafing wheel is unpowered.

It is not necessary to have the strafe wheel on a suspension. That being said, make sure you have a very good way to drive around the field and not hang up. We have gotten away without one so it eliminates complexity.

Sounds like what 148 did in 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRwvQ2D_B-c
very cool design, my biggest concern would be keeping the strafe straight with only a single strafe wheel contacting the ground.
