And when drive motors rapidly go to stall current, that means...
- Robot doesn't turn
- Breakers pop
- or Worse
We've been using 6WD with dropped center wheels for years (with the exception of last year).
We like using pneumatic center wheels. Makes adjusting the offset very easy.

Don't be affraid of trying new things... Even if people say you are crazy, even if you get insulted, even if it involves a lot of time and money, try it. You can't know if it'll work or not if you didn't try it yet. - EDesbiens [more]
