I feel like steel would be very slippery on carpet. Traction would be difficult. I'm not sure I understand how something like this would function like a Swerve drive. If the balls are not powered, how is this any better than a rear wheel drive, omniwheel drivetrain? It does however look like something that would be a very fun project.
