Re: pic: 6 Wheel Drivetrain

You mentioned cheerleaders lifting it, who's going to be driving it? 8" wheels direct driven from a toughbox is about 14 feet per second. It takes a lot of practice to be able to control a robot at that speed. That doesn't seem wise for a demo robot that is either being driven by inexperienced drivers or driven around people.
