Re: pic: 6 wheel omni drive

Does this design eliminate the ability to strafe? In order for mecanum drivetrains to go sideways, both wheels on each side need to rotate in opposite directions of each other... but it looks like the chain running along the side prevents the wheels from doing this.

Very creative design though, and good job on actually getting it built it so you can play around with it! I like the wheels, too... how did you make them?


EDIT: whoops, somehow missed the text in the first post, nevermind!
