Also, keep in mind pushing with omnis isn't very efficient. The major point of an omni directional drivetrain is to avoid collisions.

I was thinking the same thing about the bumpers.
For the omnis, shouldn't coefficient of friction be high in the direction of the wheel? The added pressure from the sides of the rollers should help, no? The reason omnis are used to get away is because they are more maneuverable, but if the rollers aren't consistent in every direction, they should be good for pushing, I thought.
