Re: Drive Question

Always power all wheels. Unpowered wheels are wasted weight and offer an additional way to get the robot stuck on something. It also offers redunceny in the drive train so if you throw a chain you still have some mobility. The extra 2-3 lbs it takes to power all the wheels is worth it.
