I'm taking into consideration everything that everyone is saying, and I just don't get how this wouldn't work. When coming up with this Idea, I was mainly thinking of roller blades or Ice skates, and how the athletes that wear them turn in arcs; it seems to work for them... I will try and build a prototype tomorrow or the next day. Until I can do that, please continue as you are.... I find this VERY helpful


P.S. Sorry if I don't have the Prototype tomorrow, I have to go to a wedding.
P.P.S. Thanks Arefin and Tytus


I was planning on making a prototype of this as well. It will be posted in a month or so because I need to get some stuff from vexlabs and make some mecanums (I made ona while back similar to the "vexanum" wheel posted a while ago). Hopefully I can help you prove this design useful for this kind of game.
