Question center-wheel drive

hey there! i'm surprised so many people are on the forums so far from the FIRST season -- why all the buzz?

anyway, i'm just wondering if anyone has ever used a center-wheel drive, with two drive wheels in the middle and casters on each corner like this:

o--------o
|--------|
|--------|
()-------()
|--------|
|--------|
o--------o

where the 'o's are casters and the '()'s are drive wheels.

my team seems heck-bent on using center-wheel drive, so i'd like your input. does it work? are there any problems/quirks/limitations we should account for in our design? would you reccomend center-wheel at all?

thanks for your help!
