Several teams have, in years passed, built drive trains that have two sets of wheels or treads, with only one being engaged to the ground at a time. They were most typically used in games that were traction-heavy such as 2002.

You can look for examples on, I believe, the following robots:
2002 -- Team 810
2002 -- Team 111
2002 -- Team 467
2003 -- Team 980
