 Our robot-in-progress got set on the scale yesterday, It came to about 115 pounds. Then I walked up and took out the battery, and everyone relaxed some. - Alan Anderson [more] |

Effectiveness of Casters
My team wants to go with casters and 2 wheel drive. I am one of the few on the team who believe 4 wheel drive or maybe even 6 wheel drive is the best way to go. Has anyone tried using casters with a skid plate in front of the casters and the weight focused over the drive wheels to climb the stairs and the 6" platform? I really don't think it will work, but I'm in the minority and I don't want to be the nag... Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Is there any team near Manchester, CT that would be willing to demonstrate a robot with large casters trying to climb the 6" platform?
