Has 6 wheeled designs surpased tank treads

[Corey Balint]

^That would be us, team 25. The treads i personally think were only good for getting up onto the ramp, and were basically pointless and more of a hassle during the matches. If you use the same design that we had this year, make sure you give the treads enough room to move around in. Whenever we took a good solid hit this year, the treads would pop off, and be near useless in helping us move. One round they actually completely prevented us from moving. They also were a problem when hanging, if they came off, we might touch the ground and i would have to get them tangled in the wheels in order for them to not touch.

We are definitely going back to just 6 wheels next year, and would probably never think of using the same set up as last years, unless the game required it. If you can improve upon what we had this year go ahead, but from my personal experience it is pretty darn rough. My suggestion is convince your team on the 6 tire set-up, and if you want any help, contact team 25 members, we have had some good experience with it.
