Re: What type of drive train is the most maneuverable?

Team 118 used a crab drive, drive train. A crab drive lets all four wheels move together. So if you want to go left, your robot is still facing forward, but your wheels all turnto the left. It is THE most manuverable because it lets you get anywhere in a short amount of time because instead of wasting time turning your robot around, all you do is move the wheels and that made this previous years game easy because we could score while moving from one side of the field to another.

This what our wheel box looked like for our practice bot,

and this is what all four of them looked like.
