Re: Best Drivetrain

From my experiences I would recommend that most teams build 6 wheel skid steers with slightly dropped centers.

On another note, swerve has the most capability because it has full power in all directions and can instantly change direction.
My advice would be to try to develope a swerve drive in the offseason and if you aren't comfortable with the swerve drive by the build season then go with six wheel skid and finish developing your swerve drive for the next year.
