We like it a lot, though the trade-off of expense and weight is pretty monstrous -- it's not something we'd have done without having prototyped a similar design in the off season.

It allowed us some modularity in design -- if we ended up a dunkerbot, the ability to manhandle defenders out of the way and/or not be easily pushed was important. As a shooterbot, the high maneuverability (spin on a dime, strafe) allowed us to forgo a turret... It didn't take a whole lot of modification to be able to cross the barrier, and the two drives each have their own advantages when balancing a bridge.

Overall, I'd say I'm very optimistic that the drive will perform very well for us this competition season.
