Question

If you have two wheels on the bot, and one motor for each wheel, how should you place and align the motors to provide the fastest and most accurate turning in corners?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Now I'm confused... keep the wheels as close as possible or as close to the corners as possible? I have a feeling there is only one right answer for this. Personally I would think as close together would be best, but I really don't know.

Also, were should I put most of the load (12lb of batteries) over the wheels?

As far as having the robot pivot it would just be to much for this robot. I know it is possible, but time wise I don't have time to redesign the frame of the robot which is probably already assembled. (i'm having somebody weld the frame together). However, that Lazy Susan Idea looks cool so I will add that to my "when I get some extra time and money" folder.
