Re: Drive Wheel Sizes
Let's see
2015: (moving half of tetherbot): 4WD - 2 omni, 2 traction, all 4" VexPro wheels
2014: 6WD 3.25" colsons
2013: 6WD 4" VersaWheel
2012: 6" Mecanum - AndyMark HD
2011: 6" Mecanum - AndyMark Standard
2010: Crab Drive 6" Wedgetop Traction
2009: Crab Drive 6" Lunacy Wheels
2008: 3WD H config 8" omnis
2007: 3WD H config 8" omnis
2006: never seen the thing
2005: 4WD - 10" (I think) pneumatic

I voted for 4" because we have been using small wheels as of yet. Why? 2013 easy to buy. 2014 low COG. 2015 only VexPro omnis that could fit in our pancake of a robot.

EDIT: hmm we seem to have a peculiar drive selection pattern... just noticed it after posting this.
