Maybe but I find it hard to believe that the two omni wheels (driven in the same direction) would have enough traction to overcome any "decent" traction wheel. Maybe 2 AndyMark Omnis vs. 2 of the KoP Skyway wheelchair wheels but then wouldn't it just be much more efficient to just use 4 omni wheels?
