Sure -- but specifically, what do you need the omniwheels for? Presumably, you'd like to use them in your drive?

Are you using the kitbot? Are you designing your own chassis and drive train?

What kind of axles are you using? Are they dead axles (the wheel spins around a stationary axle) or live axles (the axle and wheel spin together)?

What diameter wheels would you like to use?

What are you expecting to gain from using omniwheels? It is very unusual for teams to use ONLY omniwheels in their drive.
