Calculating Wheel Size
How do you optimize wheel diameter for a given set of motors? What variables effect optimal wheel diameter?
My thoughts: It seems that in a perfect world, the larger the wheel, the better the bot. But because of friction and such, you want to minimize gearing. At what point does a larger wheel cause problems? Is there any other reason not to get the largest possible wheels (other then minimizing gearing)? Bonus: What about width?!
