Granted, this was a specific rule for 2006, but you have to keep such rules in mind for future designs. And now to comment on the design, I'm not quite sure how this is an advantage or improvement over a crab or mechanum design. It seems much more complex to make a completely hinged system.

Clearly Cody thought of this as a pure elemental idea not tied to any competition robot team competition or set of rules. it is simply an idea. I say go for it Cody. don't worry about any rules, you don't have any. just make it up as you go along and just Tailor your ideas to your needs when you chose to pull it out of your arsenal and use it
