8 wheel - 4 plaction center, 4 omni corners for stability and forward pushing. No drop.

Anybody think the 4 wheel center would actually do anything to fight being spun from other robots pushing your corners?
Highly doubt it. You'll still get spun easily. If you want traction and maneuverabilit take a look at 148/217 2010 setup.
