Re: Where to buy Omni Wheels 6"

Alternatively, you could double up on the AndyMark omnis to further distribute the load on each wheel.
Thank you for the suggestion. Our design may not be able to double up on the wheels, but I will ask our mentor if incorporating a difference wheel size would work for our design of the robot. I shall update the post once I get his answer. Thank you

Edit: He said if there are no alternatives to getting 6" wheels to match we may go with the 8" ones. The main concern is our robot and how it may not be parallel to the ground. Also we don't want to do the machining for the 8", we would like to stay away from machining it as much as possible.
