Re: Carpet at Competition
If you can switch to 6 wheel center drop, then yes, it will turn easier. The idea behind center drop drive trains is that it shortens the distance between the wheels on the ground and so they can turn easier. In standard 6 wheel drop, there will always be 4 wheels on the ground and it will "rock" when it turns and/or drives.
As well, if you can change it to 4 CIMs, it will be much easier to play defense.
My personal opinion would be at least ensure your ball manipulator can shoot balls enough that you could feed to your alliance partners from the opponents zone, keeping in check the various penalty rules
