Re: Four wheel drive question

why cant you make the robot 4 wheel drive with just ordering two more sprockets? add those to the ends of the drive shaft, drop another chain, presto! four wheel drive

Re: Four wheel drive question

Refer to attached.
Here are 3 configurations of chain/wheels I sketched up in Paint that may be useful.
Two are 4WD, using different sprocket/chain combos.
One is 6WD.

Just some food for thought.
John


Edit:
Please note, these are just some ideas, there are TONS of ways to reconfigure a drivetrain, and the KOP chassis can be used for quite a few. Every team must decide what seems best.
