6wd is great, so is four... but lets not forget that AndyMark was backordered for over a week on the mecanum wheels at the beginning of build.

I suspect this year will see more omni-drives than ever before... and YES, the AM mecanums running 12:1 direct drive off the Banebots can climb a 20 degree ramp. Not as quickly or easily as a 6wd... and they need a bit more ground clearance... but we've built a ramp and tried it with ours.

I don't want to get in a pushing match with the robot in this picture, though.
