RE: ROBOT-car setup (need help)

Thanks again for great advice, wingspan99!

An alternative to using 1 motor pr wheel might be to instead use 1 motor pr side, and connect a chain to 1 motor and 2 wheels.
That ought to give exactly the same behaviour.

Code:

       ---
      / M \
     /     \
    /       \
   / W     W \
   -----------

( M = motor , W = wheel , lines = chain )

I quess that would be a both cheaper and lighter setup ?
(2 bigger motors + chain < 4 smaller motors + 1 extra 12V battery ?)

But it does of course require some more mechanical tinkering.

Would the ESC requirements be the same for both alternatives (provided combined motor power is the same)?

What setup would you choose?
