Agreed, you could even direct drive all 4 traction wheels and only chain in the Omni, assuming you are not planning on a sprocket reduction. This would ensure popping a chain will never hurt you. Whatever the setup ends up being I would recommend having (possibly redundant) chains between all wheels on a side so that if you are lifted onto 2 or 4 wheels by another robot in a pushing match you will still have full 4 CIM power to the wheels that are touching the ground.
My team heard another team describe the Championships as "10,000 kids jamming the Georgia Dome for 3 days…more nerds per square foot than a Star Trek convention…and more purposefully employed "
