Octo--8.
Canum--(me)canum.

8-wheeled mecanum drive (which is actually being done this year).

The other drive referenced: Nonadrive.
Nona--9. (For one of the teams using it, Neuna is an acceptable variation.)
Drive--self-explanatory.

Omni-drive setup with 4 wheels pointing in the same direction and a drop-down center one at 90* to the rest of them. The 4 are on pods such that traction wheels can drop down for extra power in a pushing war. Used by 148 and 217 this year.
