From what I have seen of your video, you guys do a lot of stop and go kind of movement. I'm talking about fluid arcs, which would on the surface appear to be easier with a wheel setup. Also, saying that your robot achieves 25 fps misrepresents reality, and I wouldn't want a rookie to see this and think that that is a realistic speed, build a robot around it, and then watch their robot not be able to move once it is weighted down.
