 Your team will be more of a team and not a group of students who are just building a robot. Instead of being in FIRST, you will be FIRST. - JackN [more] |

Re: pic: Prototype Drivetrain
I would advise you to drive the four omnis on the corners. Your tractive force is based off of the sum of the forces of friction on all of your wheels. With the design you have right now, you are essentially "wasting" the normal force on the corner wheels. Whatever weight you will have on those sections of the robot will not contribute to your pushing force, giving you less than what you would generally want.
