Re: 6 Wheel Drive vs. 8 Wheel Drive

Our 'bot this year used our standard "poor-team's" version of West Coast Drive - 6 wheels center drop, live axles, cantilevered wheels. We used the kit wheels this year after finding that they had the best traction on the Bridge - much better than any of the conveyer belt material we tried.

The axles are evenly spaced at 10" - yes, our 'bot frame perimeter was only 27" front to back (and also side to side). This meant no hangups on the Barrier. Center of gravity was very much on one end which allowed for hanging off of the end of the Bridge. We took only 18" of bridge space including bumpers - something that was crucial for our 3-bot balances.

In most years, we would try to center the cog, but this year we wanted to hang off the Bridge.
