The problem is that the beautiful theoretical math only works as expected with beautiful theoretical hardware. In particular, the math solves for wheel speeds, and unless you have a good wheel/motor regulation arrangement, what you're actually setting is motor drive (e.g. PWM) level. How this translates to wheel speed depends on the voltage/speed linearity of the motor and even more on the load. While this problem in principle affects other drive systems, it's worse on 3-wheel omni because you're almost always at different speed/load points for each wheel. We dealt with it using gyro feedback. Another approach would be closed-loop PID on each wheel so you really do get the wheel speeds your program asks for.
