I, and anyone who knows anything about the Cheesy Poofs, would have to agree with this. While this year they may have had 8 wheels instead of the usual 6 typical of the "West-Coast Drive," there's nothing radically different from year to year from what I have seen.
While the chassis doesn't necessarily make or break a robot, I think there's something to be said about using a somewhat simpler design that's perhaps weaker in comparison to other designs, and instead using those resources, i.e. manpower and time, to focus on other challenges.
