[font="Book Antiqua"]This is almost purely opinion, but I hate the idea of tank treads: last year my team had a painful experience trying to use tank treads for our drive train- it was horribly slow on the carpet and we didn't do enough research before deciding on the treads. It drained our batteries like mad and affected our gameplay. This year we'll most likely be using a 6 wheel tank drive with an offset center wheel. It all depends on which design we decide on in the end. I did notice, however, that the KOP wheels this year are a lot sturdier than past years with more grip. So they may wind up being sufficient for something like scaling the mid-field barrier between the bridges.
