Last year, my team implimented a two wheel to four wheel shifting system. We had a plate powered by the shortest pneumatic piston that lowered 2 casters down onto the playing field, enabling us to turn much faster. At nationals we took the casters off, as it was uncontrollable, and put a plastic skid plate type thingie there. this allowed us to turn easily, and shift back into four wheel shove ev erything out of the way mode. Either way has it's advantages, as Chris Hibner said. It depends on what you want your bot to do in the competition.
