Re: 4WD vs. Chain Drive

If you go with the chain, 2 motor, 4wd design you could monitor the speed of both wheels on each side, and reduce power if they slip too much. No need to have the wheels driven independently to do this, the wheels on each side of the robot will slip about the same amount (in the forward direction).
