1) We went with a 6 Wheel Drive, with dropped centers, 6" Plaction wheels, and Andymark Supershifters with 2 CIM'S per side. Low gear is around 4fps for torque/pushing power and the other gear is high speed, around 15fps.
2) We chose this for many reasons. Chief among them, speed of build, simplicity, versatility and field control (Speed and Torque capabilities mean we have control of where we go and we have little to worry with defense).
For more info, PM me if you are interested in more specs, want to see a copy of the CAD model or drawings.
