Ether, since this a relatively novel drive that lacks the wealth of information available for other drives, do you think you could list some disadvantages of a drive like this (especially compared to comparable drive trains like slide, mecanum and skid-steer)? I'm specifically interested also in the speed and rotational limitations/capabilities of a drive like this. Also ability to drive straight and the effect of CoMon driving.

Based on CMP footage, it looks like the they used some sort of more standard 4WD in 2010. May have been a different year or a pre-CMP design.
