4wd wide base: Looking for videos, experience, comments and thoughts

Hello,

My first reaction to the game animation was:
  • Need to collect balls? wide base might be a good idea. (more room for roller)
  • Need to have 3 robots on the ramp, or more room for error with 2 robots? wide base might be a good idea. (takes up less space when driving forward)
  • Need to go over a bump? 4wd could be a good idea (thinking of breakaway here, each wheel goes over independantly)

Most (all?) wide-base chasis' I've seen have been in 2009, but that doesn't give me a good idea of its manuverability.

so I'd love to get some:
  • videos of 4wd wide base on carpet with non-slick wheels
  • comments from people who have implemented 4wd wide drive
  • comments on the general idea of using 4wd wide base in 2012

Always hoping to learn somthing new!
Thanks!
