Re: Different traction wheel designs

You'll most likely find that the omnis at the four corners will make you VERY easy to push around. A 6 wheel drive system, with a (slightly) lowered center wheel, with 6 traction wheels should give you plenty of maneuverability due to the slight rocking action you'll get(all 4 outer wheels won't be dragging at once). It is a proven design concept that's been used by countless teams over the years.

Food for thought.
