P.S. your setup should work great if you are powering all four wheels, you will have to do testing to determine if there is enough traction to manuver with only 2 powered wheels (its probably fine though)

Rob, you think it would be a good idea to power the omnis on the front? With so little traction, would it matter? I suppose they have high forward and backward traction, so it would be good to drive them for that reason. But it wouldn't help for turning.
I was watching your third episode of American Robot and saw that you guys have a whole lot of control even with high traction wheels on the front and back (and middle!). Maybe it would be better to just put non-omnis on the front and drive them?
I already made an Ace Hardware run and bought all the bolts I need, and a new countersyncing bit, for mounting our electronics. I didn't even consider that we could countersync those chassis bolts. Duh! Thanks for the wake up call.
