Despite what people say you do not need at least 3 of these wheels by any stretch of the imagination. We recieved many comments from people attending the Philly regional and nationals that they thought we would be very easy to push out of the way with omni wheels and that they were surprised to see us do all of the pushing. If you saw any of our matches you know that defense was a big part of our game, and these magnificent wheels made that possible.

i am interested in your omni wheels, and why u guys choose to put them in the back.. please explain.

we should get all the robots that have omni wheels and make a big gallery of them, that would look cool..
