I think i know what you are asking, as we did a drive system like this in the past (2002).

The only thing I can see that would prevent this is the location of the fixed trailer point you need on your robot, the interaction with the trailer, & potentially the angle your bot is at during the transistion.

As long as you use the correct wheels, I personally don't see anything other than those details to look at as I said above that can cause a hiccup with that plan.

Best bet is to ask the official Q&A system though.
