Re: Omni-Wheel Design
Sure its possible, but it would be overcomplicated, require very big wheels or very small gears.

The reasons I could see for this would be so be able to more easily climb the ramp, and have more pushing power in the forward direction.
I think you talking about positioning the wheels like this.

with the rollers opposite. Is this correct?

Also the programing for this would be no more complicated than the pro gaming for a normal omni drive. However I don't see the benefit of this over using a swerve drive because its more complicated to build and doesn't hold any advantages over a swerve.
