From a conditioning standpoint this might be true but to make a change in functionality like that over the course of a lunch break, when the driver's have been competing with that robot the way it's been all day(s), it seems like it might throw off some coordination and timing.

To clarify, what kind of non-drive mechanisms would you consider using the wheels for? Shooters, intakes? Else?
