Re: 6WD vs 8WD
I believe that 67s drive train appeared to dominate was due to a few things.
-Ability to go over the bump
-Fit under the tunnel
-Had great manipulators accompanying it
-Great drivers and coaches
-I think i heard at Kettering that their entire robot only weighted 90lbs allowing them to accelerate faster then the 120lb bots
