We decided to do a very unique and rather weird drive train concept with no real certainty that it would work. First time in six years we have ever gone custom wheels for either FTC (or FRC ). Turns out the gamble paid off big time. The paired wheel sets give both good rolling on the flats and sufficient hooking onto the churro bars to ensure climbing progress as long as front and rear wheel sets each stay reasonably well in sync laterally.
We added independent controls for all four wheel pairs to help with this.
