I hope we get a chance to show it off at an offseason event!
You could gear the traction wheel slower because i would assume in a competition the mecs would be the primary drive mode except during auto and when you encounter defense. changing the speed of one of the wheels would essentially give you a two speed drive train with your high gear being omni directional.
