Re: Team 3607's 2013 base
Everyone else has piled on with the "don't use casters" so I won't add to that. But I will say Evan is correct that if you can find a way to chain (or belt) the omniwheels you will improved performance. You will get better traction and control while keeping just as good a turning radius.
And I don't know that I would say you would necessarily be better off with the kitbot. What you seem to be trying to do is maximize your mobility, and that is a viable strategy for this game. The the ability to spin nearly in place away from obstacles/defense can be a very good strategy. Powering your omniwheels will aid in that.
