(...) I think that might splinter the number of entries. The number of sumo entries really often depends on who new we find to play and get into the entire event spirit. The major issues I have with returning sumo is a) there's a dwindling number of (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I would like to get this discussion on track again. (See the subject line.) There's been some discussion on other issues, which are important, but not immediately so, as they don't effect the next competition anyway. What I would like to know is: (...)

Hint: Wide + Short. :) The wider the base is, and the closer the wheels are together front/back, the less binding you'll have. If you have a very narrow design, (...)

(...) well, between the time i made the post and now i created a quick 4 motor 4 wheel design and to my surprise it worked. the A B steering is acceptable. there is some skitter, but not too bad.

(...) The sumo 'bot I made for Guelph originally had 4 motors/4 wheels. the problem is I joined the geartrain for each side together, so the one wheel was geared directly to the other wheel on one side of the 'bot. This caused more binding when the (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Hmmm... I can see both sides to this dilemma. Similar to Iain, I am no fan of pressure. When you spend as many agonizing hours over your robot as you do, it becomes a big attachment. You surely don't want it to disapppoint. After the last (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
