Re: Advantage to six wheel drive?

In the entire history of FRC, I would be surprised if there has been a single match that was won or lost because one robot didn't have to "overcome" the inertial of a shaft where another one did. We are talking absolutely puny theoretical advantages here.

(But I have seen many, many matches won or lost because a robot did not have a reliable or well designed power transmission solution.)
