Given the above information, can anyone explain to me how WildStang was able to use 2 Drill and 2 F-P motors, one on each rotating wheel, to go in any direction, without the Drill motors overpowering the F-P motors and throwing the whole bot into a spin.
I guess to go sideways, you could throttle back the Drill motors to match the F-P motors, but then wouldn't you have .1987 * 4 = 0.7948 effective horsepower versus 1.08 horsepower for 2 Drill motors alone?
Am I correct in assuming that WildStang was able to move faster in a forward direction that in a sideways direction?
