Re: how does one go about making a 6 wheel config drivetrain?

kitbot would be a good place to start, just chain your wheels together on each side (you'll probably drive the middle wheels and run chain from there to both the front and the back)
if you're feeling ambitious, you could replace the kitbot angles with 1/8th wall 2x1 or 3x1 aluminum box beam... I can post some pics of our drivetrains if you want them.
