Trouble with pneumatic tank drive
Our team has decided on using pneumatic tank drive, and we're pretty much done with the robot, but with the weight and all it doesn't turn very well on the carpet, and the battery is draining very rapidly (which we think is due to high current draw to make the wheels resist the fricition) I have heard it is not the greatest idea to use pneumatic wheels in the center of the dropped middle tank drive setup, but it really works for us. What are some things we can do?
