Our robot: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=3397+Serenity

It runs two wheels in the front, a floating omni-wheel in the back. It does not really fit into any of the categories that were provided, I believe it is called a "kiwi" drive, which is not on the list.

If you want reason as to why we went with this design, all of the details are in the thread linked to earlier.
