Re: West Coast Drive vs Mini CIM Drive
In general, one motor per wheel is not the best approach, especially in a game with terrain. The problem is, when some of your wheels are lifted off the ground by terrain or opponents playing defense, you loose the power of some of your motors, at the time when you need it the most.
What size pulleys were you using? Larger pulleys make belts more resistant to skipping, and enable them to carry heavier loads.

The teams who have the best chance at success are the ones who know where they can save time and money on machining by using or using part of some premade equivalent.
