Go to Post There's "FIRST the organization" and then there's "FIRST the vision for the future through a set of ideals". I've grown somewhat skeptical of the former in recent years, but, after 10 years, I'd still throw myself in front of a bus for the latter. - Rich Kressly [more]

I don't think we would try it but what if?
Yes it will give you marginally more pushing power, but only marginally and not enough to be worth the extra weight and system drag.

Re: pic: 6 wheel omni drive

Up date to this post:
we used this drive system for our 2010 robot and it did well. in pushing matches it did make a difference, we were able to hold our own. The suspension worked great for the humps of the soccer game.
you can view the completed robot at http://team1322.org/ideas.htm
