We did an omni bot very similar in 2004 and won Xerox creativity award. You can view pictures at
http://www.team1322.org/robotics_03-04.htm . What we did is put the wheels in the corners so you can push them way out form center. We also used three omni wheels at each drive for more traction. Back then we had to build our own omni wheels
http://www.team1322.org/omni_drive.htm . The front of our robot was your corner. The robot was very fast and turned on a dime. I do believe the Mecanum drives would be more effective for you. It is more stable going straight and dose all that the omni bot does. Nice drawing and a grate design that is fun to drive. We still get ours out and drive it all over.

I've never liked the pressure pads. This just confirms my suspicions: Pressure pads hate robots. It must be some inferiority complex or something. - Andy A. [more]
