We were originally planning on using ball casters in the back, but opted to put another wheel module there instead in case we wanted to use a 6wd set up. We decided we wanted the back to break loose, so we substituted the omni for the caster. There are 2 wheels in the front because 1 simply cannot apply enough torque to the ground to get going without breaking friction.

And Adam, I am currently on a coop internship at Pratt & Whitney in CT, so I am close enough to home to work with 195. There is a big red 125 in my future, though.
