I believe the best overall drive train is either full holonomic or Swerve drive. This would allow being able to rotate the robot to face the goal, as well as drive in the desired direction. Swerve drive allow the team to keep more motors free for other activities such as a kicker, but still retain the "any direction i want, i go, no worries".

Also, I do not see the reasoning behind why having smaller wheels will make it more difficult to go over the bump, as long as the wheels are extended further down. Though 4 inches may be pushing it.

and prohibited, unless they posted the designs, due to rule R25, but you could post the CAD files on this thread to make the design COTS
