Re: Square Wheels?
I think the way square wheels would be useful in theory anyways (my theory that is.. lol) is the fixing of the instance you get when you have your motors lag behind each other. Not taking sideways vibration into account, the only way you can move with square wheels is 4 times or 4 bump movements. I think if it is regulated enough with traction, that you can move forward equally between the motors in reverse directions on the sides of the bot.

Obviously, taking sideways vibration into account, the motion won't be absolutely straight, so maybe this post is just a useless one, but think about it at least.
