Holonomic...

OK guys i know this is kind of a littlebit off topic...however, i thought that since this year there will be a ton of teams using holonomic drives, that i will show off my own holonomic drive concept...

Attached is the picture of my 3 pound battlebot...yes you heard it right, 3 pounds. in the pic, the orange wheels are small omni's i have found along my escapades of surfing the internet...

now my robot is unlike most omni bots in first (857, and the 229 project) my wheels are not at equilangular distances apart...the front two wheels are 35degrees away from 90....and the trailer wheels is at 90...same concept as the kiwi drive, but its a little more "tank" style.

please, let me know what you think, and maybe this might offer some ideas to other first teams to use this drive.
