I'm not sure if a tote bot has a front/back orientation.

If the weight is not centered equally over the axles, change the wheels on the axle away from the center of gravity to omnis.

Better yet is to go to a 6 (or 8) wheel drop center configuration. This essentially turns a single long configuration into a number of wide ones.
