I am going to attach a picture of the chassis, if you have any questions feel free to ask.  |
Just curious.... Why were the center wheels located more towards the centerline of the robot than the outer wheels?
The math isn't that hard. It's just a tool, like a screwdriver or soldering iron. Sure you get tired of picking up the same old thing everyday, but when you have to tighten a screw you still reach for the screwdriver. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
