Centered 2-Wheel Drive

I saw a passing refrence to a very interesting (and obvious) design I wish I'd thought of this year. Basically the robot has skids on all four corners and two wheels in the center, allowing it to turn quickly and minimize the friction put on the skids. I am aware this has several downsides, but I'd like to see pics of robots that use this drives system. Anyone? If your team used it, how did it work out?
