Maybe I'm not thinking clearly, but why would you ever want to do this with the drive module you're intending to build? If anything with this drive you would want to avoid robot to robot contact if at all possible. I just see this probably losing any pushing matches with a standard 4 CIM 6WD setup, but would love to be proven wrong.
