Disclosure: I have never personally worked with this type of system, but I have seen it used both in person and in video.

When the omniwheels are centered on the frame like this, the robot tends to get tippy in the corners when turning. A way to overcome this is to make the frame low to the ground or 'wheelie bars' in the corners.
