Re: What drivetrain style are you using?

We were going to try rack-and-pinion car style steering, but we figured that since we were so behind schedule we'd go back to tank steering. At least we still have the maneuverability necessary to align with and pick up a trackball...

Just out of curiosity (it's my first year at FIRST), what are the benefits of six-wheel drive train over four-wheel? And what's omni-drive?
