Re: New Vex Gears and Omniwheels

To see some of the new parts in action:

Our "differential swerve" robot. It uses a differential in the rear and perpendicularly placed small omniwheels in front:

If you are in the NJ area, stop by Monty Madness this Saturday and take a turn driving these two robots. They'll be available all day to drive, we built them just for the purpose of letting everyone have a chance to drive them.
