Agreed because of in my preference, 8 wheels will be common, even our design is tending to a design that is using more than 6 wheels (not telling how many) with a good reason behind it. 1/3 scale vex designs have come out and have shown the capabilities of a design with more that 6 wheels. Although an idea like 8 wheels may not be loved by all, I expect that something along the lines of that to be more successful do the the more balanced weight distribution through out movement on the field, and the placement of these wheels will also have an effect on the handling capabilities of a given robot. It will be at the competition though that we will see what chassis design is the most successful and winning.
