I think I agree with you - high traction and speed in the forward motion (this is a fairly straight course when you get down to it) with the ability to make a turn. some manouverability will be needed and some good instincts for driving to see objects ahead of time. 6wd with Omni's in the corners (not mecanums) and traction or kit wheels in the middle.
