Re: TO much traction??? (ifi wheels or AM wheels)

We have a six wheel drive, long wheelbase configuration bot driven by two KOP gearboxes with four CIMs driving 6"x1.5" IFI wheels with roughtop tread using the KOP chassis. Testing on carpet did show that the robot was bouncing about a bit, but like your 'bot, we're only at around 60 pounds right now.

When we added some mass (namely a 130 pound student) to the robot (he was wearing a crash helmet... safety first!) the bouncing all went away and the robot turned beautifully.

Try adding some mass and things will likely smooth out.

Jason
