Re: Truly omnidirectional omniwheels?

I don't know about your team, but our motors use an autolocking system so that it's harder for us to be pushed. Thus, whenever a motor isn't receiving instructions, it locks itself up, so if certain motors are moving(say, two matching sides in a hex drivetrain design) while others aren't, the wheels wouldn't be rolling to go along with the miniwheels. Omniwheels wouldn't be very omni in that situation. And that's the point of my idea.
