Pros and Cons
Pros:
-
Having only one motor saves space for other, more important, components.
-
Gears and chains are connected to all wheels to make sure all wheels are powered.
-
2 encoders are added to make sure autonomous trials stay consistent every time
-
2 more wheels were also added for more traction and balance
Cons:
-
Speed was sacrificed with the reduction of two motors
-
With the addition of two more wheels, there was an increase in friction which led to occasional inconsistent autonomous runs.
Change Up Drivetrain V2

We changed our robot to a two-motor drive to save space and added two more wheels
