3 motor drive train

[Max Lobovsky]

It's surprisng how many people post without reading the whole thread. Phrontist is talking about an odd number of motors total. The thread starter meant 3 motors per side, 6 motors total. An odd number of motors total in a normal skid steer design would definitley be no easy feat.

As for 6 motors, I do not expect a great increase in the number of them. First of all, I don't think the gain is that great because every 4 motor robot i have seen loses traction before it puts too great of a load on its motors. Also, if you use your FPs, you aren't left with much power for your arms between the remaining motors.
