Re: pic: 'I' drivetrain concept
Why not start with the AM KOP chassis in the long configuration, replacing the regular wheels with omnis, and put a drop down strafing wheel there? It seems like that would be more advantageous, since you would have more wheels contacting the ground, and more driving wheels in the same direction. It seems that that would be better for your intention with the robot. Also, those two cylinders (ie: "pistons") in the middle of the robot might be a serious problem depending on the game, as they intrude on prime real-estate for manipulators (in addition to Dan Koh's mention of them getting in the way of motor mounting). Definitely a neat idea, I haven't seen a lot of people do this with the KOP drive.
