chassis - intial findings

As we have not chosen a sensor type, it is hard to actually design the chassis but we have been looking into the following ideas

2 large wheels mounted towards the rear of the buggy, with one small (non-powered) wheel at the front. Similar design to the Robin Reliant (but more stable!).
OR

2 large wheels mounted at each side (centre).

OR

even two large wheels towards the front of the chassis and one small wheel at the rear. this small wheel could act as a 'rudder' like on a boat.

  1. I would say the design with two powered main wheels on the both side of the robot and with a small non-powered turning wheel at the bottom front part of the base is more preferable. As I mensioned to you before, a bearing will be the best for this case but apperently its not provided from the tool kit so we can use the small wheel instead? or there is something else we can use?
