FRC T-bone-ing and Hexagonal drive

[first_newbie]

What are the consequences of a hexagonal drive then? Can you send me a picture of the nonogonal robot?

Wait is the nonogonal robot 148's tumbleweed?

Yes it was.

Are hexagonal drive train any better at turning?

It's...a lot more complicated than that. A drivetrain's ability to turn (assuming a skid steer AKA tank drive) is based upon the geometry of the wheels and how they contact the floor.

See this guide for a good summary of how different drivetrains behave in different scenarios: http://www.simbotics.org/files/pdf/drivetraindesign.pdf
You might look under the Applying Principles section for bits about wheelbase and track width and stuff like that to answer your question, but the presentation as a whole is fairly comprehensive and very useful to someone just getting into drivetrain design (which I presume you are interested in) and exploring beyond the buy-a-kitbot-and-put-it-together level of mechanical and physical analysis.
