Re: 2012 drivetrain

We used an octocanum drive base this year -- 4 traction wheels and 4 articulated mecanum wheels, so we could switch between traction and mecanum drive. This was our "best of both worlds" drive train. 6 inch traction and 6 inch mecanum, but the mecanums were sped up 1.5x the traction wheels speed.
