Re: Variable Diameter Wheels
Could you better explain what would be different about a "dish" as compared to a hemisphere?
I think you're suggesting that the wheel be made with an elliptical cross-section rather than spherical, but am not certain. An elliptical cross-section would still require a 90* rotation to move through its maximum ratio, but would reduce the movement needed to pass through the most practical ratios. It may be harder to manufacture, however.
