Re: Hex Kiwi Drive
So I have difficulty seeing what previous game a hex chassis would be effective for. Would someone care to enlighten me on what benefits there are for having a hex chassis? I feel that an H drive or mecanum is a more efficient way of driving for you still have the omnidirectional movement. Also, with the electronics that would need to be added, I do not see how attachments could go onto the robot without having a tangled mess of wire and electronics on the belly pan. Perhaps even an additional pan would be good for adding attachments... I know Simbotics used a kiwi drive in 2015 in a non defensive game, but their chassis was not a hex like the one shown above. So why Hex and why kiwi?
EDIT: can you send me the CAD so I can review it some more?
