Re: 8WD drivetrain?
Look for images of 342's 2005 robot. They had 8WD (well, really 4WD with each wheel containing two), and it seemed to work well. The Magnetos did, however, have issues when they tried to adapt the design to this year's game in both durability and turning, leading them to scrap the front two sets of wheels for casters.

It would be interesting to be able to take robots from multiple years and invent new games they can play together (Calvin Ball). - Mark McLeod [more]
