Are you going to a first week regional? If so, then I'm not sure about the rules on upgrade parts. I'm pretty sure omni wheels, in your case, would be considered upgrade parts. If you're going to a regional after the first week, then you are allowed to bring upgrade parts.

It's really lame how first week regionals can't bring in upgrade parts, but every other regional can. What's the reason for that?
You cannot fabricate upgrade parts during the first FIX-IT window. You may still bring unlimited COTS parts to any competition regardless of intended use. Omni wheels qualify as COTS parts and would be perfectly legal to bring.
