My guess is that they arent unsing Kiwi drive. In my opinion that isnt a good idea for this years game, you dont get as much push for your money. But I think that the three dewalts are just telling us that they will be using 3 motors per wheel on there robot. The onmi wheel im not so sure about but my bet is that they will be having a super powerfull tri-motored robot that will out tank just about anything. Which is you think about it is a good idea, beacuse durring defense you just have you most powerfull robot push a robot behind the backbot line and then the backbot can do what it wants with the robot. But I digress, the omni probubly represents that it will have high manuverability. Or maybee im just thinking to figuratively. Hmm..........

OK, I'll bite. 228 is doing a 4 wheel drive. I think the omnis will be in front (or back) for better maneuvering. The drill handles indicate NBD trannies, possibly 2 on the drive and one elsewhere.
