Thanks for all the helpful ideas. We will keep posting videos & updates on twitter. Stay tuned ... http://twitter.com/discobots |
Interesting... in 2006 the Toltechs, 499, used just four omni wheels at 45 deg. in the corners to obtain the control you are talking about but we were not able to climb the diamond plate ramp with that set-up. So if I understand your post, you intend to set up a second drive train to give you lateral or side-to-side motion.
I am certian that you are working on dealing with the impacts that the front omni wheel will encounter when hitting the ramp at speed.
