Re: 8WD drivetrain?
Friction has little do do with surface area in theory. Perhaps in the real life application of FRC is different? Do more wheels equal more traction in FRC or do they just equal more weight? Will a robot with its left and right sides lined with wheels be harder to turn than the same robot with the wheels only at the ends? I'm actually not sure on this one. Simple friction theory says there will be no difference, but there is the tread/surface interaction factor to consider in real life.
