Hey all, thanks for the input!

We are using two drive wheels with two skids on the rear.
(we're using skids cuz we thought we wouldnt be able to skid stear-have had bad experiences in the past)
Today I came up with a new concept. Put another set of drive wheels just behind the others. That way we have the best of three worlds: we have great traction, turning ability (because the wheels are close together), and we can drive in straight lines easier. Also it is narrower then the gokart slicks so that we can still drive up the stairs and make it around the goal.

Try my poor ASCI drawings

where
() = wheel
v = skid
- = frame

*current side view*
()-------v

*proposed side wiew*
()-()----v

This option would be very easy to add to our robot and would add only about 10 pounds of weight and it just so happens we have weight to spare.

By the way, who is your supplier for the gokart slicks? I've had the hardest time finding them on the internet. Thanks!

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks
