Post your omni wheeled robot pics
 

I am trying to find as many examples of omni directional drives and wheel as I can for an omni directional drive train idea I have for next year. Any pictures or links will be appreciated.

I know the michigan tech team had the kiwi drive last year...

And does the mighty mouse (team 45 b robot) robot have omniwheels on it?

It says,"The bible says do not steal bandwith."

If you want a good multi-directional drive I would try using the setup Chiefdelphi had in 2000 or Wildstang in 2002. For agility go with Delphi for power go with stang but modifications of course can be made to either lol if I was a team looking to build multidirectional drive I would try putting one together over the summer.

That's the trick :-) See my link above

I forget there is a website that does sell omni wheels. Abeit they are pretty small and fairly expensive.http://www.omniwheel.com/frame-omniwheel.htm

Omniwheels! Whooo!

The below image shows this year's omniwheels we used at the front of the bot with 65 grade urethane and lexan.

Here's some pictures of our 2001 bot in it's early stages. Don't have any closeups of them, but you can get a pretty good view from these pictures...

WOW
 

2000, the final and largest of what we called Wheel Of Wheels.

Do you guys build these!!!
 

Those omni wheels look incredible . . . do you guys design and then send them away to be made, do you design/build them, or do you just straight out build them!

here's a dumb question, but I don't have a lot of mechanical experience, but how do you guys attach the rollers to the wheel? Is there some sort of special screw or plug hat you use?
