Question Re: pic: 6wd prototype chassis
Is there some reason you are set on a 6 wheel drive?

The simplest drive to build and maintain and program is a two wheel drive like the zero radius turn lawn mowers.

You simply drive the two rear wheels and put pivoting casters on for front wheels.

We do not know what this years competition is but if you have to go up a ramp or hill at an angle the two wheel drive allows for a suspension which is difficult to achieve with the 6 wheel tank drive.

Just my thoughts

Good luck
