independant 4 wheel drive

I noticed this year that the teams who did well didn't have a very fancy design or anything they had a robot that drove well and had good speed and torque. I thought about it and decided that the best way to maximize traction and driveabiliy is to have all four wheels spinning at the same rate. This means four seperate gearboxes and a shaft encoder on each wheel. Then a program that keeps thmspinning the same speed. I was wondering if anyone else has had any experience with a system like this and if it woked or didn't work ect.
