Re: Drive Trains

I'd say the drive performance you see on the field is 75% driver and 25% the details and craftmanship of the drive.

I've seen 6WD perform amazingly, and terribly.
I've seen Mecanums/omnis do the same.
Same for crab, same for tank tracks and so on.

End all, I think a well built 6wd is what lower resource teams should shoot for as the standard; It performs great and is the most applicable to most games. When 2nd picks come around, often times teams just desperately need a 3rd robot with a decent drive, and most often there isn't one available.

But, no matter what, if your driver is driving the current robot for the first time at the regional, you won't be preforming great. I'd highly recommend a practice robot (or at least a base) for driver practice at home.
