6WD Concept

[daniel_dsouza]

Hello Chief Delphi,

Recently, I looked at this kit in AndyMark and wondered, "So, my team has all these parts already, what are this design's pros/cons?"

This is the configuration:
Omni wheel; standard wheel; standard wheel
Omni wheel; standard wheel; standard wheel

More specific questions are:
This kit has the center wheel lowered by about 1/10 of an inch, would it be possible to eliminate the difference and still turn easily?
If the wheel axles were all in the same plane, the center of rotation would not rock/shift like a standard kitbot, right?
It would be possible to adapt a kitbot to use this concept, right?
Should I power all wheels?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
