Re: 4" vs. 6" vs. 8" wheels. Advantages?

We found that double-wheel sets in the rear of our 2009 robot did significantly improve "traction"; double-wheel sets in the front yielded negligible results.
We used a wide-style 2-ToughBox 4WD drive base (6 actual wheels in a 4wd configuration); our weight was evenly distributed front-to-back and side-to-side; the improved traction was amplified by the trailer.
