Re: More Wheels?

People will debate, and you won't get a straight answer most of the time. But, here is my take, more wheels doesn't matter (trust wikipedia).
This only applies if all the wheels are powered.

So, if you have two unpowered wheels, the weight on those wheels won't be providing extra traction to your drive train. So, as far as i know, power all the wheels that touch the floor.

my 2 cents

Re: More Wheels?

you wouldnt be able to have that wheel be a break because you would have to change something in the wheel so that you make it a break. it is against the rules to alter the wheels in any way.

Re: More Wheels?

The Q & A system has clarified the use of a sensor to detect motion, and it doesn't have to be a KoP wheel. See This.

I plan on dragging a (computer) mouse.

No, you could just have it be rigid, or you could have the wheel turn in the oppisite direction. I don't see why you would need to alter the originality of the wheel.
