We can't quite define FIRST according to past standards and traditions, because it is shaping the future and does not conform to today's model of sports. - JaneYoung [more]

I will pt in the siggestion here to see what the game is before deciding on a drivetrain.

Last year my team went with a 4 omni 6WD setup and we were not spun or turned at all during our regional. As I recall 488 also uses the 4 omni 6WD setup and is generally happy with it.

We felt that with the 2008 field layout it would be difficult for a team to get into a position to try and spin us and we wanted our turn center to be centered so we went with the 4 omni 6 WD.
