That's obviously a result of the angling of the wheels, and none of them being pointed straight forward normally. As stated above, you'll be able to find a great amount of while papers on the subject of getting the wheels to work out well.

Keep in mind that I'm from FRC too, and my perspective is totally from FRC. Sorry.
FRC Team 1640 has a wonderful article about a non-holonomic, omni directional system. They have a nice focus on the driving part – though the ease of drive really depends on how you program and map your controls.

Lastly, from a scouting standpoint at FRC, Holonomic drives are notorious for their low traction.
Hopefully this helps.
