Re: pic: High Traction Wheels

Make sure to mount each wheel at 45 degree angles for that extra maneuverbillity.

And then at an angle to the floor for extra stability.

Re: pic: High Traction Wheels

You might need to make the frame bigger, as it looks like the gears intersect the frame.

Reminds me of this a little bit: https://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/36127

Definitely too high, if those wheels, and I'm just guessing, have a 10" diameter, not that there is anything about them that makes me think that, just it seems like they might....

Re: pic: High Traction Wheels

This drivebase looks like it's geared to win! Might wanna take it to the dentist to get the teeth checked once in a while. I suggest naming the bot Plastic Gear Solid!

I'm very disappointed that I'm running out of puns about gears...
