I haven't seen an omni break, but I've picked mecanum rollers out of the field reset box. OTOH, I've also been on a team that managed to break the hubs out of some wheels.

Just a random thought, see about some ball casters--for both chassis!--and maybe add some omnis to an order that comes in later for the practice chassis, and see how they all hold up.

Video of 56 in 2005... http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/56/2005; be advised that you won't be able to see much of them. Best bet is the Q94 from Galileo Division, near the start.
