Re: 6wd - chain path revisited
IMHO... the third design the best with a slight mod.
Directly connect the center wheel to the motor and run chains for each the front and rear wheels from the center (power) wheel.
Even if both chains break... you should still have control of your robot... unless the motor goes south... then you DNF.
