Re: Holonomic Drive Question

We also, in an spur of the moment brainstorm session came up with a similar configuration. What I wonder is, If you're going to invest all the weight into a system that nomally will go straight, with really the holonomic aspect as an added feature, why not put only 1 wheel on the front and back? Or maybe just 1 period, at the spin point? Probably save on motors, only 3 needed, and would be more efficient, if driven straight primarily, than a 3 wheel kiwi.
