Re: 6 wheel drop center drive train
Our Stronghold robot ate batteries for breakfast, lunch and dinner because it was a 6WD tank drive with 8" pneumatic wheels, but we designed it to be long and narrow in order to drive over half the ramparts without getting caught on the other half. (The worst possible geometry from a friction perspective) Strategy-wise this worked out well, but we did have to adjust the tire pressure periodically because as the season went on and the tires deflated, it was getting harder and harder to drive and turn.
