Re: pic: Prototype Drivetrain
The others were more polite about this, I am not. Wheels in the center like this are dumb. In January we build a DT like this, just with the wheels in the logical positions and all of them powered. Surprise! It has 0 turning radius as well! It also was almost imposible to have any fine control of the movement. After about 15 hours of testing I was still the only one who could drive the thing. Currently we are modifying our DT with a lower gear ration to gain more precision, and a shifter to maintain speed.
If you are set on this idea, build it during the off season and try it out, I am all for learning. But please, don't build this during those 6 tense weeks, you team will murder you. Bluntly, Edoc'sil
