teams using 2 omni wheels...

We have the omni's in the front. The front being where we pick up the balls.

It's more natural when driving. Not sure why we have them in the front... but we just do.

Our shooter is also facing the back, the back being opposite where we pick up balls, so when we are aiming we can get more precise if our lower traction wheels are in "back".

We have deployable castors - same idea - in the rear. When in the front, the robot is a lot less stable.

Define front and back when the driver has a joystick inversion button

"Front" this year.
"Back" last year.
"Front" casters 2 years ago.

Our ball colector is right smack dab in between the front two wheels, so we put omni wheels in the back for ease of control. We were going to use all traction wheels, but that didn't work out very well.

Also, with the omni wheels in the back we can perform much better Blues Brothers maneuvers.

our omni wheels are at the front...and the other wheels are in the back.
