what happens if something gets caught in your electronics/circuits?

We are going to be adding shells to the robot to protect electronics, I believe.

The stability of that 6wd is amazing! What's your drop on the center wheel, 'cause I want to change ours to do THAT!

1/8"

I think the the smoothness of the drive can be attributed to three things:

A) The tread pattern of wedge top. It seems to have a lot of grip in the forward/reverse direction, but not a ton side to side.
B) We still haven't mounted our arm, so frictional force between the wheels is at a minimum. We plan on the COG being pretty low most of the time, so this shouldn't become a huge issue over time.
C) Our interior frame is ridiculously rigid. I've been told the rule of thumb with 6WD is to keep your frame from flexing around alot.

Functional and a sight for sore eyes. I like it.
