Re: Team 624 CRyptonite 2014 Reveal: Sidewinder

Yes this is a 5 wheel omni drive in one mode and a conventional tank with colsons in the other mode. Transitioning between mode is by shifting the front colsons down lifting the omni wheels off the ground. This entire drivetrain can be built using COTS parts and simple tools (drill press and band saw). The center omni is biased down by 1/8". Will see how it holds up.
