Well, I think there is still an advantage to what Patrick's proposed over what 237 did. Patrick's omnidirectional system has complete freedom over its range of motion. On your robot, Elgin, you can't use all four wheels to move at, say, a 45 degree angle to the robots axis, can you? Patrick's can power all 4 motors at once to move.
