Re: how does one go about making a 6 wheel config drivetrain?

and im assuming the con factor is the extreme weight added on by all that chain?

also if using the 6 wheels on the same level configuration, wouldnt one have problems with traction, as well as weight if used omni wheels? if its a defensive game i.e. 06, wouldnt u get pushed around a lot?
