Re: Drive Wheel Sizes
It depends on the game and the nature of the field (obstacles, plates, etc) as previously mentioned.
For a given frame length, consider the length of the wheelbase you would get by using 3 1/4 in, 4 in, 6 in and 8 in wheels. As described, 8 inch gives the highest clearance (and probably center of mass), but also gives the shortest wheelbase, not necessarily a happy combination. Smaller wheels have smaller angular momentum so they spin up more quickly. |
