I like the hexagon shape. Interesting idea to be able to run the front and rear wheels at different speeds, I wonder what applications you could have with that setup.

The drivetrain is set up as a WCD with the outer wheels offset (1/8" above the center).
We never had any scrubbing issues with our 6 wheel WCD. The center wheels are 7" apart and should not see much scrubbing. We do have some Omni wheels for the front/rear if tests proves it to be an issue.
Just working on crazy ideas, never know what it could accomplish...
Thanks!
