Also, I am not completely familiar with how to use some of the stuff from Andymark: do I need to use 2 hubs on the driven wheel, or do I just need a hub on one side? If I only need one hub, I think we can make the chains fit, but it will still be close.

Are the gussets enough to keep it square? Are there any other problems I should be aware of?
We have never used more than one AM hub per AM wheel. We have used plaction, plastic omni-wheels and mecanum wheels with this setup and have never had a problem.
