We are only using omni wheels. Why is it unusual?
It should be pretty straightforward to use omniwheels in that arrangement. Both VexPro and AndyMark sell 8" diameter omniwheels. Both of them also offer a variety of hubs that bolt onto the wheels and will give you a hex or keyed bore. You need one hub per wheel.


Driving omniwheels on a live axle is no different than driving traction wheels.
