As mentioned earlier, there are many different types of drivetrains and each one is unique. 4 wheel omni's, offset 4 wheel omni's, crab, rocker 6 wheel drive, direct drive 6 wheel drive, 2 wheel drive with casters, and the list goes on. It all depends on your team. We do the exact same thing this team does but we have a two stage frame:

We are able to make braces for the gearbox and we mount them lower so it IS NOT a 60 degree wrap, it is less than a 30 degree wrap. A direct drive does have its advantages and disadvantages.
