I almost didn't post the idea because of the insane number of wheels and chain. I've seen your design suggestion before and beleive that a team at the LSR used one last year. I read posts listing the idea as KIWI? It seems though, that with drivers doing a lot forward driving the kiwi system has an awful lot of spinning wheels to go forward. Maybe that is a none issue, I have absolutely no experience to draw from on this system. How would a kiwi, I hope I am using the correct term, fair in a pushing match? I was thinking that my insane 8 wheel system could always have four wheels spinning against a push with their maximum traction....

I just don't know.

I'd like to keep this discussion going
