That is not a bad attempt at all Ben. If you follow Kodys advice you should have a pretty solid vapourbot there. However, you shouldnt listen to Kody regarding the wheels.The number of wheels you have, as far as I am aware, does not effect the speed or torque of your robot. Gearing effects that. I also dont agree with this more wheels = less manouverability idea. We have all seen Chaos 2 (2WD), Tornado (4WD) and Storm II (6WD) turn directly on the spot - so where did this idea stem from? The only benefit I can see of having less wheels is that it reduces the weight. Im probably wrong, but thats what I think anyway.
