During our 2 years of experience with 6 wheel drive, we have found that 1/8 " was a bit to little of a drop, and 3/16" was about right. When we went with 1/8" in 2007, we couldn't turn the robot very well in high gear. This year, we went with 3/16 " and it worked quite well. There are probably many threads on that topic somewhere though.
On a side note, it would be interesting to take this year's bot and try out a couple of different drop distances because it only involves cutting 4 more plates and spot welding them together to change the height of the center wheel on last year's bot. Hmm.
