My thoughts precisely. The easiest but worst way of fixing this is to wrap electrical tape around the front and rear pair of wheels, like our team never has done*, because it causes a lack of overall traction while not really solving the problem.
*if you're wondering, we did this three years ago but don't want to admit it, as it's a poor solution.

...yep, going with Omni wheels is the best way to go.
