Re: Strategy
I have to say, treads, as much as our team has never tried them, seem to be a really good aspect. One of the members on my team brought up having three lines of tread, having four separate parts like they are tires and even a snowmobile idea with treads in back with wheels on front.
But looking at it, and how our team has come across being the strong defensive team we are, 6 wheel drive is our way of thinking. Having all 6 wheels powered off of two center wheel drive motors. We had a 2 wheel drive on aim high and it went smoothly up the 30 degree ramp of 2FT. We figure, why not do that and add a two speed transmission to the mix to get that extra help.
