Motor/Power/ Drive recomendation?
sotu:
A 2 wheeled robot is cool and got nice turnings but not to stable.
Somchaya:
Well, a 2-wheeled robot with a caster wheel is pretty stable, as long as you don't keep the weight balanced left/right. Well, I suppose if you turn really quickly there's a higher chance of falling, but usually that's not an issue :)
Diff drive robots are a lot easier to construct than their 4-wheel counterparts, esp if you want to use ackerman (i.e. car) steering methods..
sotu:
I got a 7 wheeled robot..:P

Good for you :) A 2-wheeled diff drive robot is still easier to build for someone who isn't very mechanically-inclined though..

If i was going to use the differental steering, but still have four wheels. Since my dc motor is not geared could i hook it up to a gear and also still a sprocket with a chain to the front wheel. my motor is an 18 volt
