Re: pic: Jester Drive:Mecanum Wheel Drive Train

im glad that fixed the whole pushing issue..for us, we are a strong robot we can put forward reverse VERY well, but ppl notice our omni wheels, and just push us on our side.. on that corner and we get pushed around really easy..(the omni wheels just roll). those are awsome.and a great fix to that problem... once i get home i will post a picture of those wheels in real life. (from 357). i took a picture with my camera .

me along with a few others on our team are thinking on an alternative to those wheels.. as they dont translate so fast etc..but normal omni wheels caused us problems with defence... if we find a better solutn i will post it ..

also.. would you guys (357) be willing to make a few sets of those wheels and sell them?
