Re: pic: OMNI Drive

If you keep the wheels in the same locations but rotate the chassis 45 degrees (or vice versa), you get what is sometimes referred to as Killough Drive (edit: pictured in post#7). This eliminates (or at least greatly reduces the "tippiness" at the corners. It is also kinematically the same as mecanum.
