I am hoping somebody tries this for 2012. I was sad to see that this design didn't hit the field.

For our 2012 robot, we've been thinking about a 22-sided chassis with three triangular omni-wheels, because triangles are, of course, the most stable structure. Cims will power the wheels individually, geared for high torque.

This will be our game object manipulator:

We will have five of those.

AS the build season begins, I think we need to really look back at some of the most innovative designs that were EVER seen in 2011. This is one such. PLEASE. EVERYONE needs to read this whole thread. you will learn a LOT.

I think that my design guide posted here still holds some excellent points for building a super-awesome machine!
