i dont think any kind of special drive trane is going to be that much of a help because the wheels slip around no matter which way they are oriented. persoanally i love tank drive but i am thinking about arcade (which i hate). the reason being is that both sides of the robot will turn exactly the same rate. on a normal playing surface the human error between the two sides was negligable but on this surface any amount of wasted traction is a lot. but i dont know yet, we need to test out on the regolith on wide set base. its been agreed that a wide set base is definitely the way to go. this will allow more space in out colletion system, and the large space between the wheels will lessen the differential between the wheels. but of course, we have to try it first.
