Re: Chain/sprocket driven wheels of different diameters

What Patrick said ^^

But a small amount of slip should not be a major issue. It does decrease your drivetrain efficiency, turning energy into heat from slip friction.

Also note that omni wheels will slip sideways easily, but not longitudinally. If someone decides to push you sideways, you're sunk.
