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: (...)

(...) 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)

open request to all: during the last robot games some of the entries has 4 wheel 4 motor robots. how well does this work? is it like a track, and A B steering? is it less stable? does anyone have advice on building a robot and powering each wheel (...)

You surely don't want it to disapppoint. After the last (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
