Re: pic: 3rd mecanum prototype

Umm... well, lets see. It's definitely not working correctly! (probably because the front two wheels have their rollers set at 10-15* less than the other two)

For those of you too lazy to watch the movie (which is only about 30 sec by the way), all 4 wheels are mounted on a simple robot and the holonomic code was downloaded to the microcontroller. It runs just peachy in tank drive mode, but once you start trying to strafe or move in any other direction, it moves in strange and mysterious ways (again, probably due to the lack of accuracy when mounting the rollers on the front 2 wheels). Also, the shiny-slick tiles don't help either...
