Yeah, I was thinking that omniwheels might be needed in the middle, but normal wheels are obviously preferable for traction reasons if it dosen't push backwards like you suggested. A prototype is really the only way to find out for sure. It'd probably have some programming compensation like you said too.

I agree with Lil' Lavery that ramp climbing is a problem, omniwheels or casters, but I have a few concepts to play around with for some kind of suspension.
