I will echo what everyone else has pretty much said, check out the mecanum drive as it's probably your best bet for what you're looking to achieve in a short amount of time. It's no easy task, but it's easier than other omni-directional drives. My opinion of this year's game is that if you can create a very slick, very well practiced and smoothly operating mecanum drive, you'll have a significant advantage. Be prepared to put in a lot of time though.
