Would the low amount of friction on the wheels allow
the robot to move like an omni-drive?
I don't know how slick the flooring is because I was not able to attend a Kick-off. 
But from what I have heard, it sounds pretty slippery.
Any guesses on how well this would work?

I'm pretty sure that this would "work" but, without really being a physics person, and not having crunched the numbers, I would think it would be even worse than a 4wd with the wheels on the corners.
