I knew what omni was but I didn’t know it was also called holmonic. But last year we had standard tank style drive with four wheels and they were all omni. We did this because our robot needed really good maneuverability and we could slide into place in front of the tetras. It was quite nice except when we were pushed from the side... o well. I can’t wait to see the video, I’m always interested in seeing other robots and how they work.
