Re: Goig "wide" with the chassis

If your main goal is to pick up balls from the floor, then going wide is the logical choice. Turning with 4 wheel tank drive is better. However, keep in mind just how difficult and time consuming chasing down balls can be.

Re: Goig "wide" with the chassis

The only thing I would be worried about with having a wide chassis is, the possibility of being more maneuverable then is necessary.
I haven't run the numbers on this but, the wide wheel base combined with the low friction surface may cause a "widebot" to slide more while performing a turn.
However, I do think it is one of the top chassis designs for this game.
Not necessarily the best, but by no means the worst either.
