 The few people who don't ever make mistakes are the same people who simply don't do anything. What people do after they make a mistake tells others what they are made of. - Andy Baker [more] |

Re: Motor Placement Pros and Cons
Well, for this year's design, our robot has 4 WD with the gearbox placed as far back as we can. We are doing this because our arm is going to be in the front, and since the battery and gearboxes are the heaviest things on the robot, it'll keep the robot from becoming unstable and tipping over. Pros of this is stability. There are no cons. A con with having the gearbox placed closer to the front and having the arm hanging over the front is that the robot will tip over. But the placement of the gearbox depends on your team and where you plan on mounting the arm.
