Re: Making your robot drive easier

Team 233 has a 6-wheel all drive system. I'm assuming, when you say 6-wheel all drive, you simply mean all wheels are drive wheels.

Anyway, each side is linked to a joystick for tank driving. The middle wheels are lowered just a bit to give us the ability to turn well, and the friction of six wheels sitting on the ground makes us very hard to push sideways. I don't think our team will ever change from this 6-wheel setup (unless we get a radically different game from FIRST).
