Re: Maximizing the in-line CoF of Omni-wheels

Most omnis have rollers with rounded edges, that is, they try to follow the arc of the outside of the wheel to minimize bouncing as the robot drives. If they were kept square, it's possible that they could dig into the carpet at the edges, and still drive relatively well (because the carpet would compress to compensate).
