Re: 1727 - Killing our Omni Wheel

This was at the Baltimore Polytechnic Play date with the NASA Goddard field. I believe they just update what they need to on this field from year to year, and the carpet remains unchanged. They simply may not have had spare carpeting to put over the plates.

I'm wondering too what they mean by carpet over the plates... Is it going to be cut to fit or with a little bit of excess so it actually shields the corners? If it's cut to fit, then what happened in the video will still be possible...

Edit: Our mentor was able to bend our omni back in his machine shop.
