I relay like this idea and i think its relay cool. i have some ideas of variations that could be made to make it simpler and more controllable but and I'm shure you will come up with some too. Please let me see this as a beginning of a new robot designer. they're aren't many people that can come up with and fabricate unique ideas and innovations like that.

One thing that I thought it would be useful for was driving around a centralized location.

Take the 2006 game for example. If you had a robot that could drive in arcs and keep itself aimed at the goal based on how large the arcs were, that would be quite an advantage.
