Re: Mount Middle Slide Wheel

We are going to try putting our strafe omni in line with our front drive omnis. This should work well when holding totes as most weight is on the front. Without totes, we will use a gyro and compensate for turn by diff steering the outer wheels a little. Might not be perfect, will see how it works.

For mounting, I'm thinking we purchase another inner rail to bolt in place and mount gearbox to with live hex and a bearing in the front rail. Probably need to drill out a wheel bolt hole to a hex bearing as we won't want any drop.
