Re: pic: 2nd mecanum prototype

Be very careful with the wooden rollers. Unless you have a precise way of making them (lathe)...they will not come out as planned.

I used a sloped wooden cylinders back when I was in 7/8 grade on a Junior Solar Sprints Cars.("Freak on a Leash" and "Frank the Tank") Some sort of CVT...but ultra simplified with only acceleration. Tried to do sandpaper on drills just didnt work out the way planned. So contacted the local high school shop teacher and he helped me out with lathe. He also was the first person to introduce me to FIRST and got me hooked.
