Drives This Year?

[Jeffy]

Is there a difference between "tank" and "arcade" other than control scheme?
We will be using an 8wd tank system with shifting driven by a single control stick (usualy called arcade style)

No. The only difference is the use of two joysticks over one.

6 wheel tank drive.. With the center wheel offset to be a little lower... We are controling the drive with PS2 controlers..

mecanum for us.

arcade can be done with 2 sticks. I set up an old bot tonight to have a toggle to use two sticks to emulate an RC car type control or one for the drive team to mess with..

The only thing is, how tippy is it, our 2007 bot was really tippy, so this year, we designed 8wd with the possibility of lowering the middle wheels
