Re: What drivetrain did you do?

Like 1618, we are using a kitbot-derived 6WD with AM Shifters (Gen 2 Servos, in our case) geared to 13.3 and 5.3 ft/s. Unlike most kitbot-based 6WDs, ours has an adjustable centre wheel. We tried it coplanar, lowered 1/16", and lowered 1/8"; we found that we much preferred 1/8" to the other ones. Coplanar could not turn at all in high gear (but was awesome to drive in low gear - I can see why 25 likes it), 1/16" was faster turning in low gear and could drive in arcs in high gear (ie. you had to move forward to turn), and 1/8" can turn in place in high gear, albeit a bit slowly. We are only running 1 chiaphua per side though; if we had two per side, I'd probably go with 1/16" or 3/32" lowered.
