In crab from side to side we had to add some software to help the robot drive straight which we called "Drive Straight". The omni wheels tend to go where they want when they are not driving.
I am interested in what you guys (Wildstang) used for the rollers that interacted with the carpet. I took a peek and it looked like you had neoprene disks, except they were not punched. Can you enlighten us?

Thank you,

They were 3/4" diameter Polyurethane rods (75 durometer) bought from McMaster Carr.
