Re: Help with Omni-wheels

I would think that it should work very well if you are hit from a particular point against the non-moving wheels. But when hit against the omni wheels, you might just spin. The tough part is you are going to be making the robot react in a way that your driver hasn't practiced with. This generally is difficult to overcome in just one weekend. I would recommend practice like crazy.
