If the wheels are in the same line, it should still work. If you trimmed the chassis to what is normally a diamond on Killough, you'd effectively have two Omni-tank drives at right angles to each other. My initial thought is that it would help reduce the effects of uneven loading due to acceleration. It would have trouble with uneven surfaces; you may be able to reduce this by moving the wheels as close to the corners as you can. If you do this, please post your results. If not, we may make one off-season.
