Re: Getting A Bot To Turn

Here is another question:
I know that some teams with 4wd robots will use 2 standard wheels on one end and use 2 omni wheels on the other end to enable them to steer easily. I wonder if anybody is using 6wd has done something similar with the 2 standard center wheels and omni wheels on all 4 corners? I know of one team which used a 2wd center drive and had small omni wheels on all corners, and they were very maneuverable and stable. However, they were not powering these wheels on the corners. If this would work, you would not have to lower the center wheel, thus keeping a flat footprint.
