how fast is it? do you have
how fast is it? do you have a video of it? it seems like it might tip onto its nose if it stops too quick, but then again with such o long nose it'll just tip back onto it's wheels. 6WD is cool, maybe it's time for a 6WD challenge?

Hooray - another 6WD
Most people seem to prefer tank treads but I like 6WD! If a tank throws a tread it's stuck. If a 6WD looses a tyre then what the heck, plenty more to finish the job.
The nose seems to stick out a fair way, any reason for this?
I look forward to seeing this working autonomously.
