As far as a drivetrain, keep it simple and to the point. What is the goal and the game? 2 wheel drive with skids is highly maneuverable, 4 wheel drive will do it in most cases. Tank treads and 6 wheel drive are Ok if you can do it, but do you need it? My advice is to keep it simple and reliable. Think in terms of maneuverability and traction and always remember the game.
