My main question is...
What distance do you drop your middle wheel?

I spoke to Steve from 254 and he told me they use 3/16" (as Doug mentioned above). I spoke to others who said they use a full 1/2".

What does everyone else use?

Lately, in all my pre-season design efforts I've used 3/16. I don't really have any good reason for it; other than Steve said it works for them. (And I LOVE their robot in action...)

Anyone?

i've also heard 1/8"
