Re: pic: 1683 Concept 8 Wheel Drive

8 wheel drive can be very maneuverable if the middle 4 wheels are dropped. For instance I have them dropped 1/8" which is the same drop that we have on our 6 wheel drive robots creating a rocking effect and eliminating scrub steer. Polish I do agree we could always have more wheels. Actually my brother is pushing for 10 wheels so that one can be lowered in the center. I did see your robot at the championship and that takes it to the max. I wish we could do something like that however I don't know how much more it would help us and we do not know how to properly tolerance for a gear drive like that. I also forgot my whole reasoning for having the braces offset into the frame. If you notice the front and back of the side plates are angled to provide clearance for climbing any ramp. In order to put channel on the front I would have to get rid of the slope unless there is some other way that I am missing
