We built a 6WD chassis as a testbed and a OPFOR robot. Why? Because:
- pivot's not always the answer and we need to keep our eyes & minds open;
- You can't be too rich, too thin, or have too many robot testbeds;
- Our last/only 6WD robot was DEWBOT V (2009) and we've lost all driver-relevant institutional knowledge concerning 6WD drive-trains;
- Most of our allies and opponents will be using 6WD (or 8WD,...);
- Our drivers should know how 6WD robots drive; and
- How to work with or against them in competition.
