Team 704 used 8 wheels this year mainly because it was the students design. Our 8 wheel drive was a bit different then most. We used 8" wheels in the front and back and 6" wheels for the middle four. The Front and back wheels were raised .5" Making there center 4.5". this allowed us to cross the center "Hump" easily. The wheels were geared to run the same speed. The four center wheels gave good stability.
