Our Ultimate Ascent bot had an unintentional zero-turn drive with 2 omni wheels at the front and four traction wheels near the back. Even though all 6 were powered, the omnis provided no sideways stability if another bot pushed us at the front. Steering was also more difficult than with a standard center-dropped 6-wheel drive. We quickly changed our design after we ran it for the first time.

Definitely test it to see for yourself but make sure you test a front impact scenario when other bots try to push your nose sideways.
