Re: Are six wheels better than four?
Extra undriven wheels take weight off of your driven wheels. In short, you get less traction to your motors. Also, it will create some drag. More driven wheels would be great if you ever get up to the point that you are using the full power of the usual two powered wheels. However, you probably will never get to that point on such a surface. To be honest, I don't see much of an advantage of an unpowered wheel. They are going to slow you down. Even with the data they could collect, it would still slow you down too much. As far as extra powered wheels, it is just a waste of your weight because you will never need that much power on this game given the surface and the size of the field.
