Re: Swerve/crab drive and tank turning

Our wheels are 1.625" wide, with the cross hatch tred. Combined with the fact that we are geared to go 14 feet a sec and actually go 12 ft/s ,meaning we have no torque. We just stall the modules when tanking.

What I am thinking to do is get a small pneumatic cylinder with a caster on the end of it to pop down, not necesarily clear the 2 wheels, but decrease their traction. This way, we can turn with only 2 wheels and just spin around on that caster.

Thanks all on your input.
