To be clear, since I described one side of a potential drive train, when you proposed going even further with 4 wheel you would end up with a robot with 8 wheels total. 4 on the floor at any one time and 2 elevated at each end.

I agree that the driving style is very important and I only have 3 pairs of 4" AndyMark plaction tires, 12 bearings of the 20 I have on hand, and need to order sprockets because I only have 4x 24 tooth sprockets on my 8" used mechanum wheels.

So there's going to be a short blocking delay while I wait for the few little parts I need to do this with just 6 4" wheels total. I am not entirely blocked because I can still start putting things together.

Frame dimensions or wheel spacing?
