Re: 6WD Chassis Stiffness vs. Maneuverability

to improve maneuverablilty/decrease turning radius, our team [1002] has moved away from standard wheel setups and gone with 6WD, but with the middle two wheels offset by 1/16th of an inch from the other four wheels

this way at any given time, we have 4 wheels on the ground... usually... and one set of wheels 1/8th inch above the ground

you might not get the best results with this however though [as i said before] it does improve turning radius [and power expenditure for turns] considerably
