You read XKCD and... (http://xkcd.com/413/)

If you're going to go to such trouble to mount your wheels, why use mecanum's when Omni's would be simpler and cheaper!

I saw that this morning too. Did anyone else notice that the things in the image were mecanums but they labeled them as omnis?

We're all suuuch geeks, but it's more interesting that way :DIt gets worse... you don't mount mecanums that way and expect them to work. Omnis--not exactly stable, I don't think, though you could probably get away with it.
