Re: AndyMark and IFI Compatibility
I also noticed a similar thing, however it was with AM traction wheels... they appear to have been 6" before the tread was applied... but they are now bigger than the AM omni wheels.
The leaning robot issue I'm not too concerned about because it is a small amount comparatively. The main issue i can think of is one end (omni wheels) will be dragged along by the traction wheels as they move, IE they don't travel the same distance in one revolution, if the wheels are linked together as ours are with chain to one transmission then either the smaller wheel will be dragged along, or the bigger wheel will have to spin a bit.
