It runs two wheels in the front, a floating omni-wheel in the back. It does not really fit into any of the categories that were provided, I believe it is called a "kiwi" drive, which is not on the list.

If you want reason as to why we went with this design, all of the details are in the thread linked to earlier.
A kiwi drive has 3 omni wheels all driven offset at 120 degree angles from each other the only team i know of that did one this year was 1425 but im sure there are others i havent seen. you can kind of see the drive in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWGYa...ature=youtu.be
