Re: Omni

So basically, what you're asking for is to have all the omni-rollers (and there'd have to be plenty to provide a smooth ride) be powered [to prevent sliding]? That'd be very interesting in terms of how they are controlled within the wheel. Thinking about space constraints, that'd be a difficult task for any engineer. Nonetheless, I agree that it'd be one cool vehicle... and probably one very expensive vehicle.
