Although, we had about 75% of our weight on the traction wheels, where more likely teams this year will be fairly evenly spread out.

Are the same 4 wheels the traction wheels in all driving situations? :)

I'm a fan of the 2 traction / 2 omni offset myself. You know,

2 traction 2 omni makes it fairly easy to have your robot spun by an opponent, which is why I personally prefer a high traction drop center (no omni) drive in most "normal" FRC applications. Powered omnis do work more than fine, though. This year isn't very normal.
