Thanks PVC! Our drive train switched a bit throughout that video actually, but here's the current version.

We are using a 6 wheel drive base (2 8" Plaction on each sides and 1 8" Omni on each side). We are using 4 CIM motors, 2 on an AndyMarck SonicShifter each (2 total SonicShifters).

--------|= - ++ |
Front---|-------|---Rear
--------|= - ++ |

= - Omni
+ - Plaction
(Ignore "-". It helps with formatting on ChiefDelphi :-/ )

Hope this helps answer your question :-)
