Re: Driving omni-directional wheels

We just did this tonight so I know it works. TO save a little $$$, we bought one hub per wheel from AndyMark, and put it on backwards. That way, the drive shaft is supported in the middle of the wheel, as opposed to having a hub on either side. We threw on some sprockets, some collars, and threw them between two base mounted bearings and it works like a dream!
