I looked back at it again and the only problem I potentially forsee in this particular design is that it might not be usable in competition. If your intake system needs an opening on one side of the chassis, then having chain that wraps all the around will not work, but then again, that really depends on the year's game.

You might wanna try a system where each side turns independently.
Actually, you can have all of the pods hooked up AND have an intake. On the side in which you desire to have the intake your shafts will need to be extended to clear the intake and then the chain can run across the divide. Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that Trinity team 40 had their chain drive over their intake.

However I do agree that it might be a good idea to rig the two pod sides together to help save weight and complexity.
