Re: 1541 Prototype Drivetrain

I realize that this is still an early prototype but mounting the batery closer to the middle will help you rotate(so you rotate around the center rather than in a larger circle. It looks really good. DO you have any plans to integrate a gyro so you can rotate as you translate?

Re: 1541 Prototype Drivetrain

So this obviously gets rid of most all turning friction, but doesn't it simply cause more friction to drive straight?

Re: 1541 Prototype Drivetrain

Takes a little more to drive straight, but yes, we can drive it straight with relative ease.
