I had no idea that FRC teams built simple drives like this and had a lot of success with them.

I used that style drive system for about 4 years when I was in FTC and we ended up winning 90% of the events we attended with manoeuvrability attributing greatly to our success.

Did the drive have much trouble when/if you tried to play a little defence? I know it wouldn't be able to drag people across the field, but was at effective at all defensively?

You wouldn't happen to be willing to share CAD files, I'd like to see how you lined up your drive motors and wheels.
