Re: Best Drivetrain options

We have been driving an off season 6WD square Versachassis with 2 speed gearbox, 4 inches wheel with drop center. Strapped a bunch of totes in various position to the chassis with some clamped on metal bar to see how it drives. The drive team did not like the way how a 6 tote stack lean back and forth. 3 tote stack on the chassis not a big deal.
We remove the center wheel and the turning wasn't too bad and obviously no more leaning back and forth.
We also drove the 4 wheel configuration over the scoring area, bottom out and gouge the brand new built scoring area.
6" traction and omni wheel is on it's way. We will try all omni wheel or 2 omni and 2 traction. We are leaning towards 2 front traction and 2 rear omni but will have to see.
Also one really need to find a way to grab all the totes stacked on your drive train if you wanna move around quickly. We have some really "entertaining" video of "flying totes" when our driver try to turn or accelerate /decelerate too fast. Can't defies the law of physics.
