Down here in Greenville we like 6WD too!

It took a very strange game and very strange robot design to make us go with a Coaxial Swerve. I sincerely doubt we would go that route again, and I would never recommend that route for anyone else (who I like).

Long live the Wrangler-Drive, hopefully coming back for 2009.
