Re: Variable Diameter Wheels
For what it's worth, the sketch I posted earlier in this thread is, more or less, exactly as Phil has described. The notable difference is that I presumed that the wheels would not be powered independently.
They pivot, however, such that the axis of rotation passes through the center of the sphere, thus only the effective diameter of the wheel changes and never its position relative to the chassis.
