Are six wheels better than four? - Chief Delphi

Go to Post

everyone in FIRST has to do the cha cha slide at least once per season to get it out of their system. Now I can go back to doing it in the privacy of my own car (if you see a red Jeep in CT swerving back and forth don't worry, it's just me doing the slide...)! - KathieK [more]

In most cases, yes. However, this is a special case, in that the wheel does not need to support any of the robot's weight, it is being used only for instrumentation. If the speed sensing wheel is attached to a hinged arm, and carries only it's own weight, then it should not affect robot performance noticeably.
