So what would happen if I just drive the back wheels (4 cim 2 boxes) and used omins in front ? Basically this would look like a commercial lawn mower.

The weight of the stacks would be toward the center of the bot.

Anyone done something like this ?

FRC 1625 ran a massively successful drive in this fashion last year. I remember from speaking with them that weight distribution was important, but I don't remember in what manner.
