are there any off the shelf 12 in omni or transwheels? i'd love to have them. never seen any big sized ones tho. probably too heavy. we can't machine our own, but id really like them
Well, I didn't have much luck finding an actual 12" omni... but...
You could make a small plate (doesn't even need to be circular) and bolt or lock an omni at each corner. Basically you're making a bigger omni with off the shelf omni's that are smaller. All it means is that you need more small ones.
You should be able to do this with common tools.
