Re: Multidirectional Acetal Wheels?

Is is possible that you could make your own, but the cost in time spent on labor would probably be more than the $86 you'd pay AndyMark. But, if you like to work for cheap...

Another option is to get the 2" omniwheels from www.omniwheel.com and put a few (5,6,8?) around a plate or something, but that would probably cost just as much and your robot might drive like a flinstones car.

One question, why so large? Why isn't the 4" that www.omniwheel.com sells, big enough for your needs?
