B,
I think it has been tried before but I can't remember the specifics. Obviously there is a weight tradeoff. We (WildStang) have used various methods with swerve more accurately called "crab" in my business, as the motion it emulates. If you have a game that needs that particular motion and does not require mechanisms for game piece manipulation, it might turn out to be a game winning drive train. I impress on all users of crab drives that it requires about three times the practice time to be learned. Drivers who do it effectively know from the practice exactly how to react to the field. With two styles of drive, I would think some time would be lost to switching driving tactics. Something akin to dual languages.
