Hello all,
I was building a steering mechanism with propulsion the other day, and I ran
into a problem. Unknowingly, I made an Ackermann steering linkage, a setup
in which the bar between the pivoting wheelsupports is shorter than the
distance between the two hinges (like in 8880). The only problem is, I
reversed the system, so that the linking bar is actually shorter. Now I
want to know if it will really matter if I leave it like this or redesign
it. Will the friction that is created kill my propulsion efficiency? Will
my current setup kill my small turning radius? What I did notice, is that
the turning radius was smaller if I ran the vehicle in reverse.
Thanks for your help,
Simon
