Why have 4 toughboxes for a tank steering 4wd? Why not chain up the front and back wheels? Are you changing the wheels to mecannum?(sp?)?

Well it actually is 8 wheel drive, you just can't see the other 4 wheels because they are not there! We welded 8 more angle iron things on and put 4 smaller wheels in that are powered by the CIM motors so we can make it over bumps without breaking our kickers. We have 2 kickers on our robot one mounted in front and one in back, they each vary in power one for kicking it across a zone to score, and the other to kick a ball all the way across the field/into another quadrant.
This picture shows about where 2 of the smaller wheels were placed, I circled them in red.
