Drive--self-explanatory.
Omni-drive setup with 4 wheels pointing in the same direction and a drop-down center one at 90* to the rest of them. The 4 are on pods such that traction wheels can drop down for extra power in a pushing war. Used by 148 and 217 this year.

It's my play name for a drive very similar to the "nonadrive" deployed by 148 this year, but with only 8 wheels and 4 of them being mecanum instead of omni.
See pg.4.
My post was more joking than anything, though. You should evaluate each drive within your strategy for each particular game. Each style of drive, wheel type, and variation will give you different advantages and disadvantages, and you need to see which of them are going to work best in your particular strategy.
