By the way, the above blog post refers to large performance gains with the removal of the 5th wheel. What are those gains?

Depends on the way you place your wheels. Obviously if you use omni wheels as your dropped wheels you will slide rather than break the pods. If you use traction wheels the problem becomes more significant.
GP makes us all on one and the same team. They understand that in order for any of us to succeed, we need to help out where we can. It is why you will see so many other teams helping a team with a failing robot, buggy software, team strategy, etc. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
