I'm curious as to why the omni wheels are on the front. Wouldn't you want them in the rear, to move the turning center closer to the tube for more controllable placement?

Quite honestly, we didn't think about that factor during design, but I'll lie and say we did it for better maneuverability when driving backward from picking up tubes to returning to the scoring zone. From what I've observed from the robot operating as-is, I think the current placement will not pose any large problems for drivers (given additional practice).
We can easily swap axles and try it out though. Thanks for the idea.
