But would need some kind of coating, I havn't delved deep into the rules, but I assume Metal->Surface contact isn't wanted.

Re: Omni Wheels
The rollers on our omni wheels (used on ball drive) last year were made of neoprene and delrin.

I'll refer you to the white paper about them.

Re: Omni Wheels
we are using (kinda feels funny admitting it) K'nex plastic wheels and a rubber o-ring that fits in to the plastic wheel. We though about using small rollerblade wheels (here's a link : http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=inline+wheels+64mm ) but they were too wide for our wheel. It kinda depends on the diameter of your wheel, but both of those are options

Re: Omni Wheels
Yes, Greg's team "#0000" used that

639 also used aluminum rollers like the below in 2002:
