Re: Underestimating the Trailer

My team made a basic tank drive chasis from VeX kits, hooked up a trailer (also made of VeX) and drove it on a smooth table (the wheels being gears) and while it did seem to jacknife(?) quite a bit it didn't seem to matter too much since the wheels also slid fairly easily.

of course, it's just VeX on a smooth table, and it may be entirely different in competition
