Re: 4 wheels v. 6 Wheels
As far as number of wheels, 6 has been a very reliable number for many teams. The difference is that 6 allows the robot to turn a lot easier than 4. Just remember to add a .125" to .187" drop on the center wheel so that only 4 wheels are on the ground at once.
Many teams have also run 8 wheels, with the center 4 wheels dropped. In both scenarios all the wheels are traction.
