I can see adding 4 omniwheels, a battery and the rest of the electronics and doing tolerably well in St. Louis with such a robot. You could make this from completely COTS material (some plywood, some 2 by 4s, and some deck screws and that's about it) in the pits in St. Louis in about 2 hours tops, including the bumper but you could actually make the bumper before you arrive because bumpers don't have to go into the bag...
I am not saying this would be a world beater but I am saying that 20-30% of teams might do better on average with this robot than the one they currently are planning on using in St. Louis.
An interesting thought experiment on a sort of Zebracorn Self Cheesecaking concept.

I'd like to see someone drive that either over a defense or over the secret passage way.
