Team 1212 used an almost identical drivetrain (but with smaller wheels) at the phoenix regional last year and were pretty successful. It definitely provides great mobility and control, but if someone wants to push you then you are going to get pushed. I don't recall any banebots problems that 1212 had (at least in the drivetrain, I think their arm was another story...).

I like the simplicity of this kind of drivetrain; it can be assembled without much trouble at all and makes for a super swift robot.
