Re: 6 Wheel Drive - Rubber or Slick?

Well if you used Omni-Wheels in the front 2 and the back 2 wheels of your 6 wheel drive system then you can easily turn around without skidding and then you won't need to drop the center wheels. This also allows enough traction in the front and back wheels to counter-act the pushing you can recieve from other teams in attempts to turn you.

So why learn?
