Re: Tracks or Wheels?

Last year we 'simply used' (hah!) a four-wheeled system with two of the IFI traction wheels chained to the kitbot transmission -- it worked great at school on the gym floor, but when we went to the Rochester Rally (thanks again, 1511! You rock!) we found that we had so much traction we couldn't turn, and had to do a big re-design.

I can imagine that tracks could easily experience a similar problem.
