Re: Gearmotors/Servos - Really basic question

How do you get wheel slippage with a wheel attatched to a servo?

A wheel surface that doesn't "grip" the road too much. A medium to hard
plastic might be good. A real soft rubber would probably not be.

This is the kind of thing thing where you know the problem when you see
it.
