Hello Chief Delphi,
Recently, I looked at
this kit in AndyMark and wondered, "So, my team has all these parts already, what are this design's pros/cons?"
This is the configuration:
Omni wheel; standard wheel; standard wheel
Omni wheel; standard wheel; standard wheel
More specific questions are:
This kit has the center wheel lowered by about 1/10 of an inch, would it be possible to eliminate the difference and still turn easily?
If the wheel axles were all in the same plane, the center of rotation would not rock/shift like a standard kitbot, right?
It would be possible to adapt a kitbot to use this concept, right?
Should I power all wheels?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
