Re: 4 vs 6 wheels

At the beginning of our season we set out to have a six wheel drive. We built it and tested it. We found that the center wheels on the six wheel drives actually pushed us back over causing us to flip over and never actually go over the bump. We assembled the kit bot chassis with four wheels and it went right over the bump with out any problems.

On the both drives we used the andymark traction wheels.
