To reiterate what was said before, giving specifications to different scores is a good idea. For example, Pushing may be determined by your wheels Coefficient of Friction. General Andymark Placation Wheels (1.4CoF) may be a 3 on a scale of 1-5 on which Omni or Mecanum wheels could be a 1 and Pneumatic wheels or Tank treads could be a 5.
The other thing I would like to reiterate is that by using this excel spreadsheet instead of having to do the Math several times; you can quickly change or eliminate the weights of criteria to see how different criteria will affect what type of drivetrain is optimal. It’s really quite fun to play around with.

Your welcome, the actual spreadsheet wasn't hard to make. Its just the sort of thing that is handy to have, but you never really get around to actully making.
