Re: Drive Trains

speed, torque, and controllability all play important roles.

If you cannot control your robot you will fail. If you do not have sufficient speed, you will be lagging and not score as well. If you have too little torque(traction) you will get pushed around.

You can compromise between traction/speed with a single speed gearbox or get both with a shifting gearbox(more expensive and complicated).

Controllability you get from programming and your wheel set up (i.e. if you have a partial omniwheel setup like us (3 sides instead of 4) you will fishtail and not drive straight well).
