Re: Omni Directional movement for tank drive.

This reminds me of Kingman's (FRC# 60) 2002 robot. It could pick up two 180 lb goals and spin them around a center turret. While they never used it during competition, I saw them demo it for a TV crew at SVR that year. It is one of the most impressive and scariest things I've seen a robot do.
