How can we drive on this new floor?

So does anyone want to chime in about using these wheels as omniwheels. Would it even be possible. I am feeling slightly lost since all of my preseason designs involved mega-traction and multi-speed high torque transmissions

Omniwheels are specifically designed to have a lower coefficient of friction in the transverse direction than in the inline direction.

These wheels, according to the manual, have a transverse coefficient of friction that is about twice that of the inline direction. They are, by my reading... anti-omni wheels.
