Students... be sure to drill air holes in the crate though. Maybe toss in some cheetos for the programmers. - Andrew Schreiber [more]

Re: Examples of wide-based robots using traction and omni wheels

Our 2012 robot was 6wd tank with no drop center and omni wheel corners, our 2008 was 2 omni, 2 pneumatic, and our 2009 was 4wd. I can say that of all of these the omni corner robot handled the best. The "shopping cart" effect that occurs with any type of asymmetric wheel layout causes drivability to suffer greatly. One Thing I might suggest is to file the kit wheels into a rounded profile, they seem to slide sideways better that way.
