Re: Omni Wheels and Carpeted Playing Field?
We used omni wheels 4 years in a row with great success, both the 6" and 8". They're perfect for carpet. Works well with both 4WD and 6WD.

Re: Omni Wheels and Carpeted Playing Field?
does anyone have problems with wearing out the rollers on carpet... we noticed wear on the rollers already and we have only tested them once on the school tiles (the program wasn't perfect so the motors were kinda crazy but still.)

Right if you use all omnis you will be easily pushed around the playing field.
