the motors attached to the drive wheels are the really big ones which you were only allowed 2 of and the ones attached to the omni wheels are the smaller ones

I'm curious to why you would use asymetric motor placement in a holonomic system like that. Also, I'm curious as to why you chose weaker motors for the "drive wheels" (even though the CIM Mini-bike motors are larger than the regular CIM motors, the regular are actually a more powerful motor).
