Re: 6 Wheel Drives Without Dropped Centers

I am seeing a lot of conflicting posts about versa wheels so could someone clarify a little bit? As far as I know the most defining characteristics are:

1.) Great traction in the standard forward backward drive directions
2.) Poor traction if robot is being pushed sideways while parallel to floor
3.) Great traction if robot is pushed sideways but tips up so that the treads "dig in" to the carpet

If anyone could confirm or deny these that would be very helpful. And if these are true then it appears that these would be perfect for 6wd w/o a dropped center since they should have minimal scrub due to their poor lateral friction.
