Go to Post When was the last time you heard of someone on their death bed talking about a great movie they saw? I think it far more likely to hear of their accomplishments, something they did to make things better. Well that's what FIRST is all about. - DougHogg [more]

Re: Advice needed !!

Try putting omnis on the "heavy" end of your robot. We found that with 6" IFI traction wheels on our six wheel drive "Aim High" bot, and two CIMs PER SIDE, that we had trouble turning even with lowered centre wheels. We put on a couple omnis, gave up a wee tiny bit of traction and gained a whole lot of mobility.

And Martin... you guys were only running one CIM per side? Wow. We couldn't tell from watching in Portland. Guess a great machine doesn't need a killer torquey drive train after all!
