6 wd power

6wd seems the way to go this year. what are the advantages of powering more tah just the middle wheels? Should the corner wheels be omnis?

Re: 6 wd power

If you aren't powering every wheel on the ground, you aren't getting maximum power. You're losing a little due to the normal force/friction on the other wheels that you aren't taking advantage of.

Omnis on the corners depends on whether or not you drop the center wheel.
