I too have been considering an octanum drive to great length and feel it would be the best of both worlds. My team does not have the time or experience with swerve mechanisms to develop one in 6 weeks, however we feel that being omni directional would help us a lot. By going with an octanum drive it challenges us opposed to the past 3-4 years of a standard tank setup without having to do something overly complex.
