Re: teams using 2 omni wheels...

That is an excellent question. I have often wondered the same thing. Personally, if I'm driving a robot with two high traction wheels and two low traction wheels, I like the low traction ones to be in the "back" so the steering end is trailing rather than leading. I think it is just a matter of preference,

For us, we still don't know what is "front" and what is "back" on our robot. It is actually quite arbitrary. What you should do is have a switch on your control board and a program that will "swap ends" in the software.
