Re: Omni-wheels and driver-centric drive

We have not done this, I know of teams that have.

67 (2005), 190 (2005), and a few others have done full-joystick holonomic drives with turning.

The thing you need is a gyro and a lot of trig. Do a lot of theory before-hand and try to simplify it as much as possible.

Do lots of testing. A co-processor may not be out of the question for this.

[edit]I believe both 67 and 190 (I know 190) used mecanum wheels, which are slightly different than omni-wheels.[/edit]
