Thanks.
We're debating between a 6wd with 8" wheels or an 8wd with 6" wheels. I'm personally leaning towards the 8wd.

a big factor with a swerve drive though is that is a lot of weight added to your robot. the more weight you have on the robot the riskier it will be to drive over the bumps.
im really interested to see how teams approach this challenge.

False.
This weight is at the bottom of your robot, low to the floor. This amounts to a low center of gravity as long as your arm or hanger is also lowered while driving over a bump. Low CG= easier movement over the bump.
