Adding Omni Wheels will definitely help with your maneuverability. This years game is not so much about pushing and shoving as it is about being able to move around easily.

If you can put omni wheels on I would suggest you put them on the REAR not the front. The reason for this is to allow you to make turns very easily and quickly. This will allow you to literally turn on the pivot of one front wheel.

Think: Forklift units in your local home store. The front wheels are the drive wheels and the rear wheels allow it to maneuver easily around obstacles.

If omni wheels are not an option I would suggest you change out the rear wheels with the kit of parts wheels. These have less of a surface area in contact with the carpet along with a lower CoF and should allow you to makes turns easier.

Good Luck!
