Re: Drivetrain Idea - "Box Drive"

If I'm understanding the idea correctly, the programming for something like this would be exactly like a mecanum or traditional omniwheel drivebase, but with "forward" being along the diagonal. As such, it will have the same drawbacks with the limited number of motors that can provide full power simultaneously.
