and... what strategy will be used? (ofensive or defensive)
am i wrong?? If so, please correct me..^^
the team is planning to build a drivetrain system during the off-season period, to practice to the '08 season and now we are trying to see what would be more useful... so we need to think about all these things..
thank you all again^^
and sorry if i've made some spelling/grammar mistakes...

You should be planning on playing offense with a holonomic or mecanum drive.
The downside is that if your manipulator fails or is ineffective, you can't really play defense that well. With skid steer you still can.
The best advice I can give is use this kind of drive if it is required, not because it is cool.
