I was wondering what other teams have had the best luck with in terms of traction and mobility. Thanks for any and all help/info
3284 from Camdenton, MO, and 2337 from Michigan were to the two best examples I have seen yet that offer both traction and turning.

3397 was more maneuverable than pushy, but we could push in a pinch.
