Re: 4WD Turning Difficulties

In addition to the CoF values, where is your CG at? Moving it rearward helps your turning significantly.

It may seem optimistic when you are driving just the robot, but as Paul said, it is just PAINFUL to drive with the trailer on.
Really? We've had a different experience. I find driving with the trailer is more enjoyable. Sure, there is a slight loss of control at first, but once you get the hang of it you can pull some really nifty tricks. That said, you need a pretty big practice area to get the hang of driving the thing. From a dead stop, driving really slowly we can barely make an about face on two sheets (with the trailer on).
