Re: Crab Steering on Regolith
Actually, these wheels are anti-onmi wheels. The idea behind omnis is that they have a negligible transverse coefficient of friction (CoF) (due to the rollers) and a much higher inline CoF (usually due to the rubber material of the rollers). These wheels are the exact opposite, with an inline CoF on less than half of the transverse CoF. In fact, I doubt a standard configuration of omni wheels would move at all, with the exception of turning in place.
