Significantly better than omnis with standard rollers. Even if you could only get the COF to 1.1 or 1.2, that would be 10 or 20%. Looking at the difference of the two different vex versawheels (http://www.vexrobotics.com/vexpro/wh...sawheels.html), the W tread adds an additional 20% compared to the DT tread. You could probably get a similar increase by adding a pattern to the omni rollers.
