Re: Motor Placement Pros and Cons

The reason we eventually decided against it was that we were going to go with a 6-wheel drive train if the chains connecting the wheels broke we wanted out center wheel to stay powered so in the end we decided to put the motor in the center of the robot. In addition, it put the weight above our center wheels.
