The only hard part is making sure all your gear ratios are the same.

So Steve (or Brian or anyone else reading this), have you actually built the
drive train you describe? And if so, can you share the specifics of the gearing
and configuration of the motors and wheels with us? • ...

Jona,

Take a look at Fingers from Sumo-bot 4 (on YOUR web site  :)  :)

two middle wheels, and replace them with motors.

8t on the motor -> 40t -> 24tooth on the differential.

I'll try to draw up something

(...) Now that is conveinient! ;) (...) I am messing around with this idea hoping to get the gear ratio I want (2:5). I currently have 16t on the motors driving 40t on the drive axle. I haven't come up with a good way to incorporate the differential (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
