Has anyone ever tried modelling Cavro Omni Robots using ROS?

Here is a Cavro Tecan Omni Z Robot. I want to model it using ROS and use moveit planning algorithms to do a coverage planning task. I'm wondering if anyone has ever modelled these robots before and used with moveit.

Never heard of those. But it seem fairly easy task if you have basic/intermediate knowledge of ROS. As they are 3P robots only. The issue that you might face in simulation (due to heavy weight and high inertia) will be with PID tuning after creating moveit package. In case, you can disable the gravity for the links in URDF.

Thanks for your suggestions. I can surely create a rough model to simulate with ROS. Just wondering if there's a package already existing which accurately models these robots
