Also agreed. This analysis would be fairly typical for FRC, though focused on acceleration much more than top speed. If the robot were anticipated to be strafing at anything close to top speed, a less isotropic holonomic drive (mecanum, kiwi, or killough) or a crab or swerve drive would be in order.
