A good point. While it's unlikely anyone would build a tank/skid steer drivetrain without a software/control system capable of exploiting all its physical capabilities, the same cannot be said of fancier systems like swerve and omni/meccanum. It's entirely possible to build one of these that exploits some, but not all, of what's physically possible with its hardware.

You can look at a 6wd, tank, etc machine and know pretty well what kind of maneuvers it's going to be able to make (speed aside). You can't make the same assessment of a swerve or meccanum platform without knowing what's in the software.
