This is our current plan for our chassis which utilizes Mecanum wheels, and can be switched with the pneumatic tires at any time. This allows us to go to the competition with both sets of wheels and interchange them. The chassis has 6 inches of ground clearance. What is your opinion on the effectiveness of this chassis and drive system?

I'm no expert at modular systems but yeah that looks like it will work. Just keep in mind extrusions shouldn't go down on that design they should be up to keep the clearance. I'm interested in knowing why you would want the interchangeability.
I'm personally hoping the reason why you want the interchangeability is some dope strategy...
