I would like to point out that what you have here is not a holonomic drive, In this instance from your posts you are using the omni wheels as just a caster, which would just make this a tank drive.

Holonomic drive within robotics is the ability to move in all direction and rotate independently. This would require either 3 omni wheels located 120 degrees apart, omni wheels located 90 degrees apart, or a set of mecanum wheels.

I am not trying to be critical, I am just trying to encourage you to use proper terminology so that your thoughts and ideas are perceived the way you intend them to be.
