Re: Drive Train Questions
Sounds like you have a good start. You are correct on your 6 wheel design and it should turn pretty easily for you. You will be ok if you decide to only drive the middle wheels even. With 6 wheels and omni's on the corners, you will not need to lower the middle wheels. Although if you are using the kitbot frame, you will have to move the center set of wheels either one hole forward or backwards as the center hole is already lowered.
Just as easily though, you could try the kitbot and replace two wheels with omni wheels.
You could try front omnis, rear omnis, or corner omnis and it should make turning much much simpler. If you do decide to do corner omnis, make sure you check out the Martians (494 and 70) who both rely on the design consistently and successfully from year to year.

What I learned from week-1 is that once again my son has been inspired to the level that he came home after the BAE Systems Granite State FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the biggest smile I have seen on his face for a long long time. I am truly grateful for that. - FIRST_Parent [more]
