Re: Drop Center Distance
We did 1/4" with eight 6" pneumatic tires and played with the air pressure. We ran the outer wheels almost flat to dampen shock crossing defenses.

Also, the 6" tires were much harder and less "bouncy" by nature than the 8" wheels I saw.

We built an offseason robot with six 6" pnematic tires and 1/8" drop with no turning issues. Our wheel base was very short though. The whole robot was only 24" long.
