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.
