The design works great, however there are some inconsistencies in how we attached the lazy susans and the plastic lazy susans have a "wiggle" in them that causes our chain to skip.

You can download and see our full CAD model on GrabCAD.

It looks like you do drive tri-wheel assembly as well as wheels; which what we I am thinking. Our design is a bit simpler though. I hope we can finish prototype very soon (we are still waiting for some parts. see this thread for details)

How well does your robot with tri-wheel climb and how high? also seeing that you are using omni wheels, I assume you don't have problems with turning on the floor?
