Re: Best Drivetrain

Here's one option that hasn't been said yet: 4 wheel drive, with omni wheels on opposite corners. This worked really well for my team last year, and was easy to maintain. Having the omnis on the corners increases turning ability but not to the extent that your robot turns too fast. It also works well for climbing ramps and such.
