I'm not sure that the analysis is right though. Attached, I have reproduced the numbers from that presentation with an extra column for what I think are more realistic numbers for holonomic drives and some comments on why I have chosen the numbers that I have. The result is that it ends up being the best option besides traction drive for all three of the skill levels that were considered.
