Just want to reiterate.

The Kit wheels have a lower coefficient of friction than the IFI traction wheels. Any robot that has trouble turning with KOP wheels, would have more trouble with the IFI wheels.

The way to improve turning is in the drivetrain design (lowering the center wheel on a 6 wheel drive, etc...).

In general, it is best to use the maximum possible coefficient of friction for the wheels (I'm going to get some flack for that). Sure, high coefficient of friction wheels will make it harder to turn (compensate for that in design....) but will increase the robots traction.

I would reccomend checking out the following teams drives (in no specific order); 1345, 217, 1114, 254/968, 330, 233, 45, 190, 234, 179, 1889, 177, 121 (excellent example of KOP frame use), 116, 1717, 125 and a whole bunch more... All are good examples of 6 wheel drives (of varying complexity), which I believe to be the most resource effective drive for most FIRST applications.

Shameless plug, but 294's drive is pretty good this year.
