The omni wheels definitely required a significant amount of design and fabrication. AndyMark puts out a great product that requires none of this overhead. If I were to use omnis again, I'd definitely just buy them from AM.

According to McG, 2003 never happened lol. I'd love to see a pic of these wheels as well.
What was the roller material?
Were they designed before or after Andy Baker started publishing his designs?
"Nuclear" is pronounced "nu kli Er." It is NOT pronounced "nu kU ler." When you use this pronunciation, no matter how smart you may actually be, you sound like an illiterate dolt (are you listening, Mr. Bush?). - dlavery [more]
