Spelling mistakes aside, a little more information would be helpful.

I assume your robot was set up something like:
t------t
|........|
o------o where t is a traction wheel and o is an omni?
|........|
t------t


What was the wheel setup?

This year we are debating to only use 4 6'' treaded wheels instead of 6.

Is that 4 6" wheels with tread instead of 6 identical wheels or instead of the 4 tread/ 2 omni configuration you had last year?
