Truthfully, we're not building this to impress the jaded folks of the FIRST world. We see this as a potentially beneficial platform upon which to design robots as well as a fascinating, interesting demonstration robot that'll be able to engage people by immediately making them ask, "How did you do that?" Because we saved some time by buying this wheels from AndyMark, the notion of an omnidirectional platform is no less 'cool' to 95% of the people who're going to see it run.
