I don't know what team had this, but they were in Galileo. They had a cool latched drive train with 6 wheels; all I saw them do was go under the bar, but when they did they had a really cool system; their first two wheels would hit the bar, and retract in the chassis, leaving the robot on 4 wheels. It would continue over, and then the two fore wheels would come back down. The middle wheels would hit, latch up, and afterwards come back down, and same for the back. Finally it would get to the other side in record time. I thought it was pretty ingenious in design.
