The only problem is that most crab drives have high centers of gravity. A robot pushing up on an angle from below might be able to lift you up slightly and push you, or they'd tip you over altogether.
I didn't even think about that, but depending on how you design the rest of the robot, it could have a very low center of gravity. placing all the rest of the weight low (battery, frame, etc) could lower it drastically, or a complete redesign of the drive may solve the problem.
