Because it CAN be done. This is just a concept. Teams do just fine with mecanums or all omni's. Neither of these designs provide much pushing power. I do not want this robot to be driven just to push stuff around. My goal is to inspire those below me who saw our robot from this year push someone accross a gym floor while they were standing up, or tow 3 people at once. I want this robot to be driven with a unique drive philosophy, and the best way to do that is make it a unique robot.

If this isn't used, but gives one of the design team a new idea to help accomplish whatever we will be challenged with, it will be a success in my mind.
