Go to Post The object of the team is not to design, build and compete a robot, it is to design, build and compete students. If after four years we have opened a student's eyes to the infinite possibilities they have in their life, it is worth all the effort. - adunakin [more]

Maybe not on all 4 corners though. Some teams have had problems in the past (us, for example) with controlling our robot by having a six wheel drive with 4 omni's. 2 omni's would probably be ideal, either on the front or in opposite corners. I'd also suggest powering at least the rear part of your drive, throw a sprocket and chain on that bad boy and you'd be good to go.
