H Drive questions

[MrRiedemanJACC]

Thanks for this! Our team hasn't gotten this far yet with how we would set it up. We are seriously considering H-Drive, but believe a suspension would be needed for it to be effective tavelling over the scoring platform, but there is a lot of work that will go into that (spring and shock? spring only? what spring force needed, exactly how much travel, etc, etc - do you have any other questions we should be asking ourselves?)
So since are looking at the suspension end of it, we haven't looked at gear ratios. 3.6 seems really slow, but with only one wheel pushing the robot sideways, it makes sense you need to torque to accomplish the task. Even more sense is that you don't need to move quickly sideways, just enough to position where the robot is needed.
