Yes this is our current robot design, the triangle wheels spin from the torque produced by two cim motors on each side (we just use the KOP gear box). The robot itself is capable of turning fairly well on carpet, but it's still going to take a bit of driver practice to utilize. Side note - Wheels currently have ~120 degrees of motion. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
