Re: 2008 and drivetrains

m*v^2/2 doesn't sound right... isn't it m*v^2/r. Ya that sounds a little batter...

In either case I love the idea of a nice easy to control skid steer system like a 6wd since it doesn't turn to easy but also doesn't turn too hard. In the past we had a bot that went from unable to turn to uncontrollably easy to turn when we changed from 4wd to casters and I don't like the complexity of the ackerman.

I hate to be a follower after 3 years of omni but I have to say that I don't think the maneuverability of a mechanum or omni is going to help (especially after driving them) and I hate pretty much all forms of normal 4wd so my votes in for 6wd.
