This design can easily be modified to work for mecanum wheels. The side plates can have holes drilled at the front and back to fit hex bearings rather than having a 6 wheel center-driven set up. Making an 8wd would merely be a matter of relocating the churros and wheels on the wheel modules.

All-in-all it's a very versatile chassis now that I realize it, but as was mentioned before, all of the configurations together would need to weigh under the set limit, and with each side module weighing approx. 10 pounds, there wouldn't be much room for separate configurations alongside a full robot.
