Re: TO much traction??? (ifi wheels or AM wheels)
In the early years with 254 we ran into this problem and solved it by mounting a caster wheel on a pneumatic cylinder at the rear of the bot to take some of the load off of the rear wheels. We would keep the caster down when we wanted to be maneuverable and pick it up if we got into a pushing match. You will need to experiment a bit to find the optimum height for the caster if you go this route, but with a little work it can be a very effective solution to your problem.
