Need help with clutch in drivetrain

Hi,

I was thinking of a robot (not for FIRST, only 3lb) that had two motors (one on each side of the drive) used for tank style steering; but, also had a much more powerful brushless motor that would be hooked up via some sort of clutch to both sides to for quick lunges in one direction.

I was originally planning on hooking up the brushless motor with a one way bearing, but realized the robot would no longer be able to go in reverse.

I really do not know anything about clutches.... Is there a cheap COTS item that would be able to achieve the motion I want?
