Re: Hemispherical Omnidirectional Gimbaled Drive
I believe the main issue with this drive system will be the motor attached to the hemispherical section. Compared to the weight of the robot in the video (and most other HOG drive robots I have seen) the drive motor is simply massive. I'm not sure a CIM motor would be a viable powersource.
