Re: Truly omnidirectional omniwheels?

Quote:
By the way, does anyone have links to videos of mechanum and holonomic drives, specifically with the wheels showing? I haven't gotten to see either in action, and I'm curious as to their real maneuverability.
This link still works i believe! It shows a prototype of our Kiwi drivetrain sometime before the start of the season back in 2002. We made those omni-wheels ourselves.....but they are very similar to the aluminum style that AndyMark produces today.
