At the moment if we put anymore than about 150 pounds, the frame starts to bend but the CIMS seem to run fine. We are investing in some small casters to put on the bottom of the polycarbonate.

Thats a fun project! Omnis dont seem too safe if a human will ride that.. plus they wear out quickly if you ever drive it on pavement.
Very fun! Originally it was designed after the Dean-bot on AndyMark but we decided against investing in mecanums and the iOS controller due to price. We have not out-ruled them for future purchases though. The seat we will be installing on the top will include a seat belt for safety
