the problem this year with 6 wheel "skid steering" is it is hard to "drive it" around a corner fast . I think car type steering and high speed drifting are the key. If you go 6 sheel skid- you could possibility go with a button to steer you around a left hand turn. - when the button is pressed it runs the outside wheels faster to drive a smooth fast arc around the corner. When a human drives skid steer they generally tend to drive in short herky -jerky straight lines around a corner. I think some of the real good teams will have developed special steering software this year -

don't forget to put the 4 drive motors and battery on the same side in case you tend to tip with a big ball on top. latched in a gripper. and arm device.- that will get tippy a full speed.

how fast are people gearing for on single speed gear boxes- out there.??? 20- 25 ft/sec. one complete lap in 5-7 seconds if driven expertly.

good luck to all
