Re: Help with Omni-wheels
494 & 70 did have an issue last year with to much traction and the solution was exactly what you are purposing, omni wheels on the diagonal corners of the robot, it worked well. I am against having two omni wheels on the front or back because your robot will be easily pushed around (your correct). You will have to test it on your robot, I would start with the diagonal placement, and if that does not work, as a last resort you can always put them on the front (I hurts to even type that). Good luck.
