Hello everyone we need your help!

We are an 8th year team and are really trying to improve from our last years performance. We really think our drive has a good shot of overcoming the obstacles.

We thought that 20" wheels would work well for us.

Please let us know if you think this is legal and a good idea.
So after a long strategic review I have come to this conclusion.
Why not make this a mecHanum drive?
If you used those wheels and in the center perpendicular to the wheels added a 20 inch powered drop omni wheel and a gyro you could easily have an unpushable drive base. If anyone pushed your sides you could push back with the omni wheel which should EASILY have enough force to handle itself in this years game.
