Electronics board looks good. :-) Perhaps I'm missing something but would this robot not be knocked sideways quite easily? Are there more wheels not pictured yet? In a skid/tank steering setup such as this, traditionally teams have at least one pair of "traction" wheels that provide some sideways friction.

I agree, going all omni's is a death sentence.

On the other hand, omni's in 4 corners and IFI traction wheels in the middle is a great strategy. Teams like 1511 have had great success with that configuration.
