Re: 4 wheels v. 6 Wheels

We stick with treaded 6 wheel drive drop center, all year every year unless if the game involves something where a 6 wheel drop center would cause us to be at a disadvantage, which is not often.

We try to go for the same drive system every year so we don't waste any of our build season contemplating other designs, when we know that we have a drive system that is reliable and low maintenance. Saves us time for prototyping if the drive base is built before build season, too. Then we just build another identical one for our final bot. It's just easier that way. Boom done.

During the off season, we do want to try some swerve prototyping.
