Re: Drive dropping voltage of battery

There are some good CD papers on the topics:
- Skid Steer Turning Analysis: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/3022
- Drive Train Basics: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1443

Some common solutions include:
- decrease your wheelbase length to width ratio (in other words when the wheel contact points on the floor form a square skid steer will turn better than when the the robot is long and narrow.

- Make one set of wheels (front or back) slippery so they slide sideways more easily. What kind of tires/tread?

- Change up your gear ratio to get more torque.
