I can't recall ever seeing that done before, and while I understand the problems associated with that strategy, I'm interested in learning how it might handle.
We started the first regional with that setup in 2002, it let the robot fly around the field but as stated above, it also let the robot get pushed laterally easily. We ended up putting two traction wheels on the front and left the omni's on the back and that worked well
