Sorry to rip a hole in your example Ellis, but Cobalt was 4WD

EDIT: Just to add to the discussion, 2WD gives a touch more manoeuverability, which can be highly advantageous for spinners. Unless you want to have a solid back-up should the spinning weapon fail, 4WD is usually unnecessary.

?!

Wasn't Cobalt at last year's champs 2WD?

My life is a lie! I thought it ran orange banebots wheels in the very middle of the robot for '12. I swear I saw that setup in a build thread somewhere. Or was that Diablo, then?

Oh well, forget me, lol.

Also, Alex, do you mean the 4:1 gearboxes? 4:1 drive is unlikely to work, is it? Must have a ridiculous theoretical top speed. I'd think their 16:1 is about perfect.

I think it maxs out at about 16mph in theory... cant remember exactly and I have lost the speed calculator I made in this debarcle with my laptop.

Shame your not going for a polycarbonate top, it looks cool being able to see inside!
I don't get why you have the wedge on the front, surely it would be easier to hit people and you could get a better engagement without it

Quite right. Thats why I am asking. I would need to have it on against say NST and LS4 but I would probably remove it for any ither fight and add more armour or mess with some other aspect
