Yeah, mecanum, kiwi, four-wheel omni-wheel designs, and swerves are probably going to be the class of the field. That said, my team has decided to do a light, fast, low traction, two-speed 6WD with adjustable centre wheel drop. We figure that practice is the key to this game and getting a fast, working drivebase with potential of some optimization (we intend to find the ideal centre drop) done early will pay dividends come regionals. What good is a omnidirectional design if your drivers don't know how to use it?
