By the looks of the video, the robot was tested with a tough box on each of the wheels and handles quite well. From my teams experience, have 2 free driving wheels and steering with 2 powered wheels was quite hard and takes a while to turn. This could be because we haven't used software to limit the power output on our motors yet, but it's information nonetheless
