Another chapter in the drive train story

[AdamT]

Now, in all the threads that have been discussed rescently, no one has mentioned a thing about weight distrubution...

So we know how to figure out optimum power and what type of material works well for wheels and treads, but we haven't discussed why these different materials have worked well for certain robots.

The difference that has to be considered is how the weight is distributed among the drive wheels/tread. What was the positioning of the drive train of everyone's robots? How did you go about keeping a low CG and still keep the weight in the optimal position to help the drive train? Was this solved by four wheel drive or by other means?

More preseason thinking.....
