Valid point. Most teams choose 4 wheel drive. I have found that teams go with 6-wheel drive or tracks when the game involves climbing or a need for a lot of traction. So maybe the game will involve climbing a step that is bigger than six inches. Or maybe the floor of the feild might be made if something else other than carpet which might mean that four wheel drive might not have enough traction.
