Hydraulics
- September 13: The hydraulics diagram is good except it shows the motors wired in series. They should be wired in parallel. The series configuration shown will give us 1000 lb of pushing force, and the parallel configuration will give us 4000 lb of pushing force from our 30" diameter wheels.
