pic: 3 wheel omni drive concept

Taking the issues in reverse order:

Looking at the pics closely (particularly the one in post 15 of this thread), it appears that the shaft mounts through the tubing, not just the plywood.

These could easily become "U" shafts, with the other arm pivoted on the inside of the opposite "upright". If I'm picturing this correctly, each would not interfere with the action of the other. This setup would also support some idle rollers if desired to do things like the low bar in 2016 (Of course, the main drive train would need to be modified to make contact with the carpet when somewhat on its side.)
