Fair enough, you win...

Though I've noticed the holonomic is really slippery. Even hitting a freely moving soccer ball will throw me 90 degrees out of whack. I know omni drives can sometimes be like that, but maybe a little more friction in the next revision? That or make it so you can strafe sideways with the ball instead of weirdly orbiting it. I've tried to grab the ball and slide sideways in front of the goal only to be turned in that weird way so many times now...

Also, kicking and moving is hard without shoulder mounted ball manipulation. Other than that though, driving holonomic is... addicting
