The 229 version that was linked in this thread was designed primarily by Chris Carnevale.

Chris' design consisted of designing a simple "Omni-Module" which was a solid unit consisting of one AM omni-wheel, 1 gearbox (he used the Bosch Drill+Gearbox, but a kitbot gearbox could easily be substituted), and all the mounting/framing that comes with it.

Chris then built 3 of these simple omni-modules, and bolted them onto a big triagular piece of plywood. Simple, and easy; this design can definitely be built by low-resource teams.
