Re: Bouncing turns

Well, at the DC Scrimmage last Saturday, I saw quite alot of bots w/ this problem...
Luckily ours wasnt one...
But anyway, the 12" pneumatics wheels seem to be used ALOT this year. Mainly, I would assume to climb the platform from the side, which based on last weekends results, isnt going to work quite as well as people would hope...
We personally stick with our 8x2" wheels, spaced out 26" wide (roughly)
I'm not too sure how to eliminate the issue. If you're not planning on going up the platform, try to get some smaller wheels with a little less traction. Or, you could make 2 big omni wheels for the front or back 2 tires of your bot using a bunch of smaller omnis.
I would make sure your tire pressure is full though. That was an issue with a few of the 12" 4x4 bots...
