a four point omniwheel.... + theyre at 45degrees too.
i like it better than a crabdrive! definitly easier to make. well, I think so.
and probably faster direction change too. with crab, unless you reverse, it takes time to change the direction.
oh, yeah. but you can't do 'car-like-driving' with this design.
i really like this tho. how much do omniwheels cost? i'm just too lazy to look it up. and we'd never be able to machine any. how will you get up the 6in? stairs?
as cool as it is, I wouldn't think this is the best year to do this tho. maybe im wrong. can't wait to see a real photo!
or wait! if you're in pontiac, mi does that mean i get to meet this at the regionals?!?!? AWESOME!!
