and a 6 wheel drive is really good for power and pushing.
I agree with you. I was the driver of our team's robot which had 6 wheel drive. The thing about this robot creating a 6 wheel robot wouldn't fit the egg shaped. The purpose of the robot is to have a menuverable, small, speedy robot that's near impossible to knock over. I was actually thinking of using a 2 wheel drive. The very low center of gravity should be enough to keep it stable.
