Re: Best Form Of Six Wheel Drive?

Our team uses the drivetrain with the lowered center wheel.
(hands down most popular it seems)

Last year we used just 4 wheels, one at each corner like a car. It was a terrible drivetrain. We were the slowest robot at the PNW Regional. By the end of qualifications, we were first place. Some of the judges even came up to us and said that our robot should have been losing, it was that bad of a drive train. The only reason we never lost in the qualification matches was because our robot could score all 10 points in autonomous and get onto the ramp in the end.

In the finals, the bad drive train finally got to us and we lost right away. Luckily we have a better drive train this year.
