Re: Help with Omni wheels?
Our team used two omniwheels in the front and two driven traction wheels in the back. The only problem with it was we could not get the omnis to stop turning when we wanted them to. This resulted in the front of the robot continuing to spin after we expected it to. Also, although they were very manuverable, another disadvantage that it was nearly impossible to go straight.
