Re: pic: Omniwheel version 3.0 Exploded View
Looks really good but the tiny grooves need a little bit of work still. I assume they will be cut with a ball end endmill since you are making them half round. However, there is no way it is going to come to a flat stop at the end of the groove because the cutter is round. That needs to be rounded just like the depth of the groove itself.
Also, is anyone other than me concerned with how thin the metal is going to be near the grooves? You might want to start with 3/16" plate and surface it down to 1/8" in the less critical areas.
Other than that, it looks great!
