It just takes trial and error on which wheels you want to use and the driver and the set up of the gear box

By no means do I think this is a bad drivetrain setup, I was only trying to assert that even if it was, any negative aspects can be mitigated with practice to the point where practice is arguably the most important thing. I really like how hard it is to lock this setup in a friction pin, as well as how light weight it is.

I don't really understand how it is supposed to be able to push better than a 6 or 8 wheel tank though, considering that both robots are allowed the same motors, but one has more torque and a higher CoF with the floor.

Edit: (not that pushing is necessarily important)
