Re: how does one go about making a 6 wheel config drivetrain?
I surprised that nobody has mentioned that 6WD can be done without wheel drop.

488 accomplishes this by using omni wheels on the corners. This style is shown in Madison's preso on FIRST Drivetrains... http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2037

A variation of this I've seen on a few bots (45-2007) uses high traction wheels in the center and middle and lower traction wheels on the remaining corners. I'm pretty sure they used no wheel drop in this config. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/28857
