Well, if you're running a mecanum drive you wouldn't be able to push back anyway. With most drivetrains, your best option might be the wedge setup, but keep in mind that you have to overcome the same traction your defender has to overcome to push you to move. Honestly, if you're interested in that setup, I'd look into a butterfly drive or octocanum setup, but that involves deploying wheels which you stated in your OP post you didn't want to have to deal with at the moment.
We can sit here and engineer this all day but I think untill one of us gets off our chair and starts making it we'll never know if its possible. - sanddrag [more]
