tank drive in this years game

If you're going with tank drive, I'd recommend 6 wheels (all driven) with a wider base than its length to maximize turning and minimize hysteresis. This is probably what we'll be doing.

We're most likely looking at 4WD tank steering, also. It's the most inexpensive, and (as far as we currently know) will be the best option for us.

Siri, interesting suggestion, I'll bring it up at our meeting tomorrow.

I don't understand what you mean by this. But I find the idea interesting. Can you explain more?

My team will more than likely be using a wide chassis 4wd or 6wd, depending on how tests go, as they are cheep, and we're likewise low on money.
