Re: How well does this work on carpet?
Though I have no personal experience in the skid area I have driven a robot with casters, and I would say that the two wheel drive setup will not only lack in traction but it will tend to over steer until you practice with the bot a little bit. As far as wheels losing you time while turning, they will not with the right setup. If you have a bot that is wider than it is long than you will not have that problem. On th other hand if your designed bot is longer than it is wide it will tend to "jump" while turning, which is why it is popular for long bots to have > 4 wheels.
