Re: WCD vs straight up 6 wheel

Honest Answer: The best option is to choose something that your team can build within their means, and maintain thoughout the season. Spend some time looking around the CD-Media gallery, do a search for drivetrains or chassis.

In the end, if all your team can afford to do is put together a strong 6wd kitbot with drop center and appropriate gearing you'll still be ahead of at least 25% of the other teams running.
