It gets really hard to tell what is causing the different behaviors.

Well, technically our 2007 robot was built with the option to take out the 4th wheel on each side and drive around on 6 wheels.
I think the best comparison between two robots has been our
2011 and our
2007. They were
incredibly similar.
We experimented with the 8WD for one season and didn't really like it or think it was worth it, so we went back to 6WD.
