Re: Any pictures for Centered 2-Wheel Drive?

We went with this drive system our rookie year. It was... interesting.we had casters on all 4 corners of the robot, though. We had the casters lifted atleast half an inch above the drive wheels to keep us from high centering, even though the field was flat in '98. This lead to the robot constantly tipping back and forth when it drove, and I imagine was a pretty odd thing to see and drive. I think this would be a problem with most drives of this type, because you need to guard against high centering as much as possible, and this would make you rather tippy. So I'm slightly doubting the wisdom of this choice since FIRST seems to have a penchant for non-flat playing fields lately.
