2. You need to power every wheel touching the ground this year. Depending on how your weight is displaced, you will be giving up tons of traction by not powering wheels. For example if you have around 20% of your weight over the middle of the bot, you could be losing upwards of 20% of your traction, which is a lot in this game.
3.Ill tell you right now why. The latteral coefficient of friction is nearly twice that of the normal CoF.

Question for you, or anyone who can answer, for the above layout, elt's say the scale from the very, very front of the robot is (the two points you see in my pic) let's say that's 28 inch apart and the U cut out in the center of the bot was 14 inches wide.
5) How would you then get power to the 2 front wheels?
6) Is there another way to model this layout to have that U cutout, but still have a set of front wheels, that are powered?
7) Still not sure as to what drive our team should consider
