How many wheels?

Presumably two, as they're perpendicular to each other, and the robot doesn't seem like it's going to climb the walls or travel unusually through time.

I'd rather not speculate. Let's let Pockets answer the question directed to him.

I believe he did, in the original post. It's implicit, but the x and y directions definitely imply two wheels:

We're going to try adding small, non-driven wheels in the center of the robot, perpendicular to each other. Each one will be on a pneumatic powered arm and be connected to an encoder so we can measure how far the robot has traveled in the x and y directions.

I have a reason for asking the question. Can we please let Pockets answer it?

Fair enough. If it's anything other than two, I'll buy you lunch. If you're in CONUS, I'll drive to wherever it is you are to do so sometime this summer. All of CD is my witness on this.

Thanks for the kind offer, but I'll tell you what: if it's anything other than two, I'll buy you lunch.

To avoid further degradation of the SNR on this thread, let's use PM for any further discussion of this.
