Why No Drop Center?
There are two measurements: The
Wheel Width (the width, from the
outside, between two wheels) and the
Wheel Base (the center-to-center
distance between the two furthest
wheels contacting the ground).
When there's a drop center, your
Wheel Base would be measured from a
front or back wheel and the center
wheel. When there is no drop center,
the Wheel Base is measured from the
front wheel and the back wheel.
In general, you want a Wheel Base that
is smaller than your Wheel Width. If
this is not the case, or the Wheel Base and Wheel Width are very close to equal, your robot will have
a harder time turning. However, if your wheel width is too small it can make your robot too difficult to
control.
Since the wheel base on the VersaChassis Mini is smaller, there's no need to drop the center wheel
(like you would on a larger FRC robot).
