3) is there a thread, or some specifics to way a tank drive is bad for this competition?
4) With the layout above, where would you put the wheels, which ones would be powered, and what kind of drive would you recommend for this base layout?

TY so much to all who respond, are team is rly in a fix on this, and can't rly decide, and answering these questions, would help us SOOO much, ty again!

I can answer some...

2) All wheels should be powered. If you don't, your available power drops. Worse, if you're turning, the front wheels are pure resistance. With the back wheels not having a lot of traction, you're going to have lousy turning capability.

4) Experiment!

3) I think there is, but I can't remember where it is.
