Re: The Center Wheel

yeah I was thinking if you did an 8-wheel with the middle wheels dropped you could form the equivalent of a square chassis. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the skidding come from the drive being rectangular, causing conflicting vectors.

I know its a bit off topic, but has anyone tried a square mecanum drive? If so did you see a difference?
