Another question: For a defensive type robot that is still maneuverable, what do you think is the best? (For our sadly depleted bank account  )
(I'll probably be asking a lot of different questions. I have no idea what our robot will be doing this year.)
Thanks for your thoughts!

I would totaly agree that a 6-wheel drive system would be ideal, a 4-wheel system would work but would not be as mobile. This all really depends on how low your center-of-gravity (CoG) is. If you are focusing on a defensive robot it should have a very low CoG and most drive systems will turn well. Try and get your hands on some traction wheels, look at ifi, and if you are willing to spend the cash grab some andymark 2-speed servo-shifting
gearbox's would be a very nice addition. Have a look at a team like 1305 from this year for a sweet 6-wheel drive system.
