This is totally a proto type to test an important part of our drive system. Our competition bot will be a four wheel robot. Our competition robot will only have kit wheels used for traction and weight baring.

Ok this is what it us used for.

To test the Pig Traction Control (PTC). PTC is being designed to not allow the wheels to slip during acceleration and stopping.

The one wheel is driven to test the interaction without other three wheels interacting if it was on a four wheel robot.
