Ok, Here you all go...


So yeah, these are our wheels. They work pretty well. What do you all think? We made them all ourselves.

I'm digging the jester drive, but why four different transmissions? Aren't you simply increasing the friction in your drive? Or would it be the same...hmm...

Oh, and it probably helps to have the on/off switch incorporated with your wiring :rolleyes:

Acutally that on off switch is a different one then the one mounted to the robot. We need 4 trannys to run each wheel. Without it, we can't drive it right.

Re: IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! WE HAVE CONQUERED ALL THE WORLD WITH THESE!!!
 

no, but hey hopefully nationals right?

Re: IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! WE HAVE CONQUERED ALL THE WORLD WITH THESE!!!
 

What are you using for feedback on each of the wheels? I hope you accounted for that.. I've heard around the block open loop holomonic doesn't really work..

Re: IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! WE HAVE CONQUERED ALL THE WORLD WITH THESE!!!
 

Is it just me or on the last picture; does it look a little lobsided?

BUT anywho nice wheels.

Re: IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! WE HAVE CONQUERED ALL THE WORLD WITH THESE!!!
 

What do you mean by feedback? I'm not quite sure I understand. And for the lopsided thing, it was alittle, but we fixed it. We have beefed it all up a little since that pic was taken. I will upload some new pics tomarrow.

They look most awesome.
Can the do anything special? Such as, unless I'm crazy, it looks as though you would be able to move the robot in any direction without having to first turn the robot. For example, if both back wheels spun clockwise and the two front wheels spun counterclockwise, the robot could move sideways. (Just a crazy idea)

How much does each wheel weigh?
I look forward to seeing them in action, got any videos?

Re: IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! WE HAVE CONQUERED ALL THE WORLD WITH THESE!!!
 

Nice drive, I was wondering though, what material are the rollers made up of?

That's looking pretty nice, how much does the drivebase weigh so far?

Re: IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! WE HAVE CONQUERED ALL THE WORLD WITH THESE!!!
 

from sources unknown =X ive heard jester + holonomic *sp?* + some omniwheel drives wont possibly make it up the ramp... maybe you have proved them wrong!!!

Re: IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! WE HAVE CONQUERED ALL THE WORLD WITH THESE!!!
 

Yes, we proved them wrong. LOL


The wheels are made of polyurithain (sp???) and they are able to drive in any direction that we want.
