One thing that the team felt in 2010 (the video above) was a significant amount of fishtailing. With the wide base, perhaps you'll feel a significant amount of that compounded with increased sensitivity.

With the setup that PayneTrain has suggested, notice that there is no real point about which the robot can fish tail. It forges stability into a potentially unstable design all while distributing the weight over omni wheels and traction wheels.
