this is true to the extent that tytus said but if you look at this compaired to a regular tanny where you can;t exert any force perpendicular to your wheels 50% is an increase. you also have probably less then 50% with a standard tank drive on any turn because the oposite directions of the wheels is canceling each other out while in this case the opposite direction of the wheels is working together. i will be interested to see if any team attempts to use these because they are MUCH more sophisticated then regular omni wheels.
also for you programers out there how would you deal with these?
forward = all 4 forward
back = all 4 back
left= front 2 forward, back 2 back
right front 2 back, back 2 forward
is this right?
