The traction wheels?
How often did you use the omni-directional capabilities?
Do you feel that the added cost (complexity, time, money) was warranted given the benefits? Why?


Sorry for asking you to do all this but I'm genuinely curious how this type of hybrid drive worked out for teams this year.

I have been meaning to post something about our experiences, but haven't had time to really get my thoughts written down and organized.

The short version, which'll have to hold people over for a bit, is, "Holy crap, this is amazing."
