Yes, that is an easy solution if you catch it now. Its not so easy once you have a completed robot and have to make that change in the pits on Thursday. A team will have to drill a new hole accurately on both sides of the chassis, possibly recut chain, or even relocate gearboxes. As you can see, a simple fix can quickly become a massive undertaking, depending on the complexity of your robot.
If it were the other way around (IFI wheels are the smaller wheel), an extra layer of something (double tread might be TOO much) would do the trick, but the omniwheels being the smaller one makes it a trickier issue.
