Re: Winning Drive Train

We had a 9.8fps linkage drive where each wheel rotation point made 1 corner of a 18x18" square.

In hindsight, we should have made it wide-drive (rotation point rectangle of 29" x 18"). Not only would we still have had dynamic, on-demand centers of rotation for various wheel orientations, with a wider base we would have also had slightly more torque in turning the trailer at low speeds. It also would have simplified the frame design, heh.
