Hold up a minute. If your robot is 31" x 32", you will need to have some method of losing 3" or so for transport.
As far as omniwheels, they allow very easy sideways movement. You REALLY want traction wheels of some form, though omniwheels may be useful on the corners IFF the center wheel is not dropped.
