Re: FRC omni wheels

The primary determining factor of the center of rotation is the center of gravity. Both traction and omni wheels tend to move the center of rotation towards their axles due to frictional forces as the wheels do not move along the floor at the same speed as they rotate. Having more friction, traction wheels do this better than omnis.
