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

6 wheel gives you the ability to turn on center. It also allows you to in general, turn better than 4WD robots (unless using omni's in some way).

When it comes to ramps and uneven surfaces, the middle wheel on a 6WD prevents the robot from bottoming out as well.
