Re: What kind of wheels do you use?

Omni wheels are great! If you want lots of traction while using them, then you must design them using the right materials.

In the 2003 and 2004 we built a 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive conversion for our robots.
We built these conversion mechanisms so we had better maneuverability and so it was easier to turn.

This year we decided against using them because it took time to deploy them.

So we used two pneumatic tires in the front and two omni wheels in the back.
