Did you have a wide or long chassis? We were testing it on a test wide chassis, and it was not pretty. The thing jumped straight up 3-4 inches off the ground. Once we get a test long chassis going, we will see what we need for wheels and drive. We had a similar system for our 2010 bot, without the lexan though. That was only 6 wheels, but did really will. We'll just have to see
Also, the drawing is not completely accurate. We actually have the entire wheel set a little farther back, so it is behind the lexan plate.
