I would like to test as meany drive systems as I can for next years FTC session. What types are there (I don’t care if they are made with vex parts or not, all I wont is the concept)?
Drop center, dragon, holinomic, what do you want to do?
Anny thing.
I have a 10+ page section about our tests in our engineering notebook. Here are a few - quick researching can get you more information. 
- Straight Drive
- Plus Drive
- X Drive (Holonomic)
- Drop Center
- Half Drop Center
- Straight / Holonomic (Similar to Trinity Dragons 6430)
- Dragon Drive
- Mecannum Wheel Drive
- Chained Drive
There are many more and I’ll edit this as I think of more.

Google frc different drive trains, there are alreafy threads out there.
What is a “Dragon drive”?
Correct me If I’m wrong, but a Dragon Drive is where you have the back 2 wheels as if you were running an X-Drive, but the front 2 as if you were running tank. I believe 6430 uses this to align for hanging as it fits in the corner fairly nicely.
@Inventer bots yeah, its any 1/2 holonomic 1/2 straight drive, wjich also includes mechanums
Don’t forget kiwi drive
What’s kiwi drive?
A triangular drivetrain with three omni wheels.
my favorite is one that trips all my ptcs.
Our early robot this year had a kiwi drive - and then all of the drive motors burned out. Other than that it’s pretty cool.
Our Kiwi drive Starstruck robot -
We tried a dropcenter this year for starstruck and it would be a good fit if you want your robot to move very fast.
