Well, 4 drills would make swerve drive a whole lot easier; perhaps too easy. If you have 4 identical motors, like the drills, you could just put one on each wheel, and not have to worry about matching speeds between two dissimilar motors.
along the lines of what he said,
4 identical motors, on a standard tank drive, that would give you a lot more power, saves a lot of time with building coplicated drivetrains, alows more fancy/ complex designs for other things on the bots.
It would make drive train construction easier.
Or 2 extra drills wold give you more powerful mechanisms, other that drive.
