It wouldn't be its own drive system, but a dead simple way to do "ocatocanum kiwi."
In a system like this, you would only need to force down the rear omni to put yourself on the appropriate strafe wheels. The forward mechanums would be off the ground just a tiny bit and chained to each side's gearbox.
Therefore you would only need to add one motor, omni, and piston (or one versadrop) and have a butterfly style drive as opposed to
this.
