I figured that rotating and moving would involve wheels at awkward angles to each other. The omni wheels would prevent scrubbing (bouncing).

I had figured you could just do that, but wondered if there was another way to do it. With a holonomic drive, isn't it best to have the wheels in a perfect square (or diamond)? The wheel modules in a design I've been working on are farther apart. I've been working on a swerve bot for the learning experience and as a cool demonstration robot

Sorry I don't know how to do the quotes
