I believe that would only be the case if the chassis were a 2 wheel drive, with the two motors on the Colsons, with the omni's moving freely. By using a 4 wheel drive, with motors on the Colsons and Omnis, the same force(or similar enough, not quite the same due to the different wheels) is being applied by all 4 corners of the chassis, and therefore the CoR should be somewhat near the center. I'm not entirely sure in my reasoning, so I may be wrong.
