Question About 4-Wheel Drive
I'm doing some robot designing in my free time over the summer, and I came to a question.
I'm making a 4-wheel drive chassis using the Kit transmission. To do this you can do it with two sprockets on the output of the gearbox, as seen in the attached picture.
Now to make a very reliable drivetrain with this, I think the wheel's sprocket should be aligned with its corresponding sprocket on the output shaft of the gearbox. Doing this would need me to stagger the wheels one way or the other.
The question is:
Which way is most beneficial to stagger them?
Front wheels inward and rear wheels outward or visa versa?
Does it even make a difference?
