What is the best drive train? I have been using a 55w drive train but there is not enough torque or speed. I want to build a 450rpm drive train but I also want to make sure that I can still have the strength to push other bots around. My team is planning on doing odometry for our drive train but we just don’t know how we should make our drive train work best for it. We also don’t know how to calculate rpm consistently. We had a 433 rpm drivetrain but we were still pushed around easily so we want to fix that.
It depends on what you are looking for/what you prefer.
There is no singular best drive train, it’s better to experiment so you can find what works best for you and your team

well for anything above 360rpm, you need 66w to have enough torque to not get pushed around, 55w is simply not enough for 433, id personally recommend a 8 wheel omni drive on a 450 rpm gear ratio, if that’s the route you want to go, but if you have motor limitations you can always do 360 on 4 motors and it will be more than fine

Ok, but will that be good for coding?

what do you mean by good for coding? it is the same as coding a 55w drive, just six 11w motors instead of four 11w motors and two 5.5w motors
