Team 4206 Pre-Season Drive Module (In Progress)

And also, our team has run mecanum and traction wheels both, so concepts and necessary items we have plans for (gyros, encoders, etc)

I wouldn't run a new drivetrain in season I haven't designed, iterated, built, tested, iterated more, and practiced with a ton in the offseason. It's too risky, and the drivetrain is never something you want to make too complex. 99.99999999999% of FRC games give no advantage to omnidirectional movement over a simple and reliable tank drive.
