Re: A few Questions about Omni Wheels....

I def. don't see this game as a place for tank drives. turning+more turning+tank drive= bulky and unmaneuverable robot. Omni and mecanum drives the way to go this year. Lots of turning+omni/mecanum drive =

Then there's holonomic...crabdrive...and we liked the "beastdrive" (crab)

Here's a great PPT all about omni-drive systems. I don't totally agree with some of the advantages and disadvantages but its full of great info.

Have fun!
