At the start of the season, all of the wheels were 6" KOP wheels, each one individually powered.

Essentially it had a car steering setup on both the front and back. Well after/during our second match at state, we think the bar flipped around to the opposite side of the wheel, and the encoder detected that, and tried to correct itself, hence burning out all of our motors. The day before state, we changed out the wheels on the shadow bot modules for tank, so we quickly reprogrammed the robot and changed out the modules, took out the turning motors, and locked the wheels in place. Tank has so far worked the best
Just for fun, we made all of the wheels omni's, still having them locked in place.
