Go to Post After assisting with the animation last year I realized how cool and useful Inventor was and I started flirting with it. Half a year later I think I have lost all possibility of ever having a girlfriend, and frankly I don't care because I would definately bare the child of this program. - negfrequency [more]

Re: Strategy

My team doesn't like the idea of treads because we think that it will slow the bot down to much for them to actually be effective.

Re: Strategy

If you were planing to go over the bumps I would recomend threads as it will allow you to have traction along the whole of your base. However, when you turn with threads you drag over 90% of the threads. So if you plan to move fast the threads may not be a good option.

In saying that I could be completely wrong

Thanks,
timytamy

Treads have no relation to the speed of the robot.

We had the same idea, we value being agile much more than being "tank-like"

Re: Strategy

yeah while you lose pushing power with manuverability you can easily get away from a defensive bot thats not manuverable
