But the VersaBlock was designed for a .125" total drop. It was never designed for a 1/16" drop, its offset 1/16" from center. So .0625 + .0625 = .125" total drop. Our team has ran between 3/32" to a 3/16" drop along with a handful of others. Our robot this year has a .125" drop as well for reference.

Do you have a full loaded drivetrain (148 lbs?) Or is it just the chassis.

Gotcha.

And it's just the chassis. We all assume that the tipping would be considerably less noticeable (and more beneficial) with added weight, but are still hesitant and weary as of now.

This is actually our first 6WD, which may sound weird for a third-year FRC team, but first year we did a wide chassis w/ 4WD and last year we did mecanums so we're finally transitioning!
