Also, swerves do not HAVE to have each wheel powered individually. A "co-axial swerve" has all 4 wheels powered together, then steered in pairs.
in 2002, our team (343) had a similar base, but with 6 omni's. two on each side, and one on the front and back. i would have to say that it worked very well.
