Also realize that other bots won't be able to push you as hard as you can kick.
Crashes are a different story.
Were the wheels maintaining a 'static' state? or were they spinning a lot?

Hehe, sorry for asking so many questions. I'm interested in the first-hand experience. My team hasn't gotten their hands on the regolith flooring yet, and are considering a 4-wheel tank drive. we're considering a wide frontal orientation for the wheels though. so the front of the bot would be the longest side. we'll see if this helps improve turning ability. I think we're going to be up for a LOT of testing (trial and error) this year. haha.
