Re: Wheel size poll
8" IFI traction wheels x 4
As a rule of thumb, bigger wheels mean you can traverse more uneven terrain. Yes, this can be acheived other ways, but bigger wheels tend to save weight and complexity (think of the 2004 stairs for a perfect example). Smallers wheels are lighter and take up less space (duh!), which leaves more space/weight for the rest of your robot. Simple trade-off. |
