However, that cannot be said for the side-to-side forces, which tend to resist turning. The end with two omnis will slide sideways far more easily, forcing the CoR towards the Colson end.
I've seen this effect used on many a robot. If you can harness it to pivot around the point YOU want it to, it can be a very useful tool. If you can't, it can cause some trouble.

I think I see what you're saying. We'll keep an eye on it and see if we can tweak with it, but if it ends up being too much trouble, we may just end up replacing the Omni wheels. I assume that would be a good and safe alternative?
