Autonomous Locomotion

How are you planning on doing the drive system? I have several ideas on how to do it. Unfortunately I am no artist, so I couldn't get pictures or diagrams. These are very strange to some, but I don't see why they won't work.

Pure Omni Drive:
4 Omni wheel drive.

Omni Hybrid Ver 1:
Pix to come

Omni Hybrid Ver 2:
Pix to come

Omni Hybrid Ver 3:
Pix to come

2 Wheel Drive:
Might not be possible since the wheels must be inside the bumper zone


2 Wheel Alternate Drive:
More plausible, with a caster wheels for stabilization without sensors


Quadruped:
Literally 4 legged robot, like a mammal, legs right under the body mass.

Triped:
Like the Protoss Colossus


Hexaped:
Like the 4 legged robot but with 2 extra legs, 3 legs will always be touching the ground, making it stable


Biped Wheel Hybrid Ver 1:


Biped Wheel Hybrid Ver 2:
Pix to come
