Re: off center 6WD help

Oh, also: Post pictures once you make it! We all like to ogle them shiny robots.
As Eric mentioned, this is actually NOT what you typically want to do. If the CG is directly above the center wheels the robot will tend to rock far more frequently than if the CG is located in front of or behind the center pair.
