PM me or just reply here. Thanks.

My understanding is that 'holonomic' means 'able to translate and rotate simultaneously'. Holonomic drive can be implemented using mecanum wheels or omniwheels.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
