Reliability of VersaDrop modules?

[J_B_Wood]

Hey folks,

Our team is considering trying an "Octocanum" style drive - one in which skid and mecanum wheels can be interchanged for two different driving modes during the match. We would use the module provided by vex (http://www.vexrobotics.com/vexpro/all/217-4824.html). For our team, it seems like a solid alternative to swerve that offers much of the same maneuverability without the programming complexity. To any teams that have played around with this or used it during a previous season, how reliable did you find it to be, and what must a team consider before implementing this?

Thanks!
