This is just a picture I found on team 2261's website showing the ackermann set up.

my team's pretty still pretty young but we've been trying to test different drive trains. we've used tank and mecanum so far. we always do a lot of research and last year we were thinking of using swirve which is based of cars. we were worried about a few things. that swirve is still relativity new and that we did not think that we had enough time to work on it. there are some teams that use swirve but it takes dedication for months to make it work correctly. Getting it to work the way you want it to is not easy. So if your team has the time and resources, I would recommend that they start researching and prototyping this idea during the off-season. my team plans to do the same. this reduces the risks of having your robot not fully function during competitions.
good luck!

This is not only for your idea but for everything you do in robotics! wouldn't you rather know that your team has build something that actually works, and works well? this is why veteran teams often do well: they have experience.
