Turning with 4WD / Pneumatic Tires / Wide Config
Our team is running a wide configuration 4WD with 8" AndyMark pneumatic wheels. It has a 15" wheelbase and a 32" trackwidth. It is geared for about 5 and 12 ft/s. Tires are fully inflated.
It skips and jumps when it turns. We can still get around just fine, and maybe we will smooth out the turning one way or another. But my main question is should we have seen this coming? I had assumed that it would turn well with a wheel base that was twice as wide as it is long.
