The center of gravity is pretty low. The robot rocks a bit during a turn once in a while - but we don't have a lot of driving practice yet. Testing the CG statically, we can put the robot on its side bumper and nearly vertical and it still drops back to its wheels. It would take a lot of inertia to roll it (we expect.)
The omni wheels allow the ball pickup to roll on the ground while approaching a ball.
EDIT: I should add that the concept of "front" has been an issue all build season. The single wheel end looks like the front but in fact the double wheel end is the front.
