Re: Team 1565 Unique Drive System

As i'm watching the video, i'm thinking:

wouldnt it be cool if the wheels all rotated half way (45 degrees), then all the wheels are 90 degrees to each other and it becomes holonomic drive....

but....yeah. totally unnecessary. Definately a sweet looking system. Congrats! i'm impressed!
