And Joyride, great work. I am impressed. Only critique is that it looks very back heavy, or is that a fundamental part of the drive system?

Yes a lone hemisphere would give you the same effect I guess I personally don't like the idea of mounting a ton of omniwheels everywhere since the wheel on the gimbal changes the ground clearance making the robot need at least a form of suspension to keep all omniwheels on the ground, at least thats what I would do.
Also may I point out the Omniwheels and structure up front was for a ground test to see what angle the drive would sit when the robot was essentially in "neutral"
