Go to Post If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. - Adare180 [more]

As long as you are on ONLY the center wheels... You should have similar traction to the situation in which all of your wheels are driven.

The moment one of the blob driven sets of wheels touches the ground and stays carrying weight, you have less traction than if all were powered. The reason being that your weight is now being split between the two sets of wheels. So your coefficient times weight goes down, because that only refers to the weight on driven wheels.
