I see the gains to be made here, I just don't think post-manufacturing modification is a very efficient route to go in this application. I'm also not convinced it would be very helpful just because of how the Omni's react to lateral loads.
You're assuming that you are configuring the omnis in a traditional manner. I think ther emight be a way to get them all nice and on the ground (maybe with thingy-which-name-escapes-me with springs)
Post-manufacture, I agree, is somewhat dead because the rollers can only be modified so much. Swapping out the rollers with polyethurane with a delrin hub might work if you were to modify an existing wheel.
I've never assembled an omni before; is it possible to take the rollers off?
