Yeah, the tracks didn't help 997, we bearly lost at Davis. The two omni's in the front works really well and the 1024, the Kilabytes, had a lot of success this season with it. The only thing is with omni's is that you lose a tad bit of pushing power. If you want to do the drop with 6 traction wheels, every drivetrain is different. So different drops are needed. But the general idea is that only 4 wheels touch the ground at one point in time. If you want the drop to be adjustable, try this:

It worked really well on our offseason robot. The top is CNC'ed into the frame and the second part bolts on.
