This is a common base that will tilt when you move allowing for a smaller turning radius and better maneuverability. This sometimes creates to much maneuverability or to little, depending on your needs. So in order to give yourself more, or less, maneuverability you can put high friction wheels in the middle and back sections and have the last two be omni wheels. This way if your driving one way you have high maneuver ability, while driving the opposite direction will allow you to stay more stable and go forward straighter for longer amounts of time without stray.
