Re: bump-free mecanum wheels

This question has been bugging me ever since kamocat started this thread over 2 weeks ago. So this afternoon I had a block of free time and worked out the math.

I wrote a short paper "equation for bump-less mecanum roller" and posted it here:

The paper presents the derivation of a set of parametric equations for designing the roller profile.

Much thanks to compwiztobe and kamocat for verifying the output of the equations in their CAD programs.
