6WD Pros and Cons

[Donut]

I know there was a discussion on this the previous year, but the topic of 25 not lowering center wheels reminded me of one of the more interesting ideas, like in this post by Joe Johnson.

It's a possible explanation of 25's drive system, and even if it's not exactly right, is an alternative for dropping the wheel on a 6 wheel drive system. The use of kinetic friction to turn is a novel idea, as you get the turning advantages when you want to turn, but your opponent still has to fight the full force of static friction when your robot is stationary.
