This criteria is broken up into the design, manufacturability, and assembly of the front and rear suspension. Both will be factored into the final decision.

This criteria is broken up into the design, manufacturability and assembly of front, rear, or all-wheel steering. In this case, we will use the best scoring implementation of the three steering types. Consider this a child decision matrix.

With the assumption that the implementation of brakes will be relatively equal between different wheel allocations (only front, only back, all wheels), we will only look at the over arching difficulty. Brake wheel allocations is being worked on by Ayush.

Typically, for tadpole design the vehicle is rear wheel drive
