Mecanum wheels on the front, regular wheels on the back

Right, but I'd like to power them and we all know that they really are not omni wheels. If they were, I've built a ton of robots with Omni<->regular wheels and I know how that works.

It's the combo of driving a 1/2 mecanum that I'm thinking about.
