[FTC]: Climb or No Climb-That is the question?!
We've been debating how to build our drive system for FTC this year. We're waffling between tank drives, a hybrid "half track design with the tracks in front and wheels in the back, a physical crawling style system (like a beetle), or just not dealing with climbing at all while trying to maximize points via other means.

Has anyone else worked through this quandry or are we the only team bending with the wind, prototyping our rear-ends off and generally being frustrated.

Any pearls o' wisdom would be appreciated.

PS: We've watched multiple videos and tried various combinations of wheels. They're lame in comparison to tracks. (at least today..lol)

Thanks for any help that could be given on this.
