thanks!
wow! thanks for all the feedback -- i can't believe you all responded so quickly!

i noticed a lot of people are saying that four-wheel drive is the way to go. how do you do it? we tried four-wheel in FIRST last year, and it was a *disaster*! we couldn't turn at all until we covered the rear wheels with slippery plastic to decrease traction, and even then turning nearly burned out the drill motors. in the end, the only way to get decent manuverability was to run each wheel off a seperate motor. what did we do wrong?

p.s. what does "high centered" mean? i'm afraid i've never heard that term before

again, thanks for all your help!
