The COG is the best place - the question is, with how much load to you optimize? We're looking to mount our strafe wheel onto a piece of aluminum angle or two which bolt to the holes on the top and bottom of the side rails (we're using the KOP chassis). Then, we can adjust this placement relatively easily when we find the COG. This could still be used with sprung suspensions.

Agree it's not ideal, but we want to cross the scoring platform without getting hung up and wothout the complexity of a raiseable wheel. If it becomes a problem even with a gyro, we may add another omni on the other side.
