On your 8 wheel drive - what offset do you use for the heights of the wheels relative to each other? I have to make an adjustment to our 6-wheel drive when we get there - too much drag on the outer wheels - and I used the stock offset dimension from the kitbot frame which is .15.
We (FRC 401) use an offset of 1/8" with 6" 6 wheel drive. This is also using the new "high grip" wheels from this year's KoP

It does appear that this is a wide robot, meaning the wheels don't have to be offset for the wheelbase vs track width ratio
