Thanks so much for the feedback. Our team has decided against having an articulating 6-wheel approach due to the complexity and the limitations of our team but I must say I'm still curious. How does your ball-differential work? From what I understand of ball differentials, there is one drive gear and 2 driven axles. So I assume your center omni wheels are on the driven axles. But you have 2 driving chains coming from the omni wheels and only one drive gear. Do you have a special type of ball differential? Can you explain a bit more?
Thanks again! Good luck with your design. Congrats on getting the green light in Q&A!!
