Re: dualie vs. single omni wheels
On an offseason practice bot we noticed when using single omnis that they caused some significant vibration. As we were wheeling it around the shop on the tile floor it was vibrating bolts loose that hadn't yet been tightened down. If we end up using omnis on a competition bot I'm fairly certain we'll go with the dualies just to reduce all that vibration induced stress on the bot.
