Yes. This is a great compromise. We did this last year and it worked great.

There is only one thing to be aware of - your robot will turn about its 'end' rather than about its center. In other words, the omni wheels will swing around a lot. This isn't bad, just different.

Our whole robot's movement was substantially changed when we added two omnis to the front. It also didn't seem to allow other robots to push us around.
