Raptor claw - See Jurassic Park

Id change the name, there was already a Darke Destroyer in Robot Wars... You dont want to get confused with it:wink:

Ah, but how does that combine with tracks?

[majinb]

question; is there a disadvantage when say 4 motors power 6 wheels? (meaning 2 of the motors power 4 wheels with the other 2 powering only 2 wheels)

[joey_picus]

I dont think thered be one, to my knowledge, but its better to have all three wheels on a side being powered by two motors, in case you get lifted up. That way you still get full motor power from that side even if only one wheel touches the ground.

Im thinking it combines with the tracks by digging in as the tread rolls over the arena... I hope not because what Ive envisioned would be horrifically inefficient, and tear lumps out of the arena floor all the time
