Re: HELP; moving omni robot to move sideways
You could also use 5 omni wheels in a "H" configuration to achieve the movement you want.
Search CD for "kiwi drive" which is a term that describes the 4-omni wheels (seen in the previous post) positioned on 45 degree 'slants' in relationship to the front, back, and sides of your robot.
Search "mecanum wheel set up" (or similar) if you're using those wheels. These wheels should form a "X" pattern when mounted.
Search CD for "H Drive" for the five omni setup.
- Both Kiwi and Mecanum set ups generally require some moderate to advanced programming/configuration while the "H" drive will "cost" you an extra motor and wheel, but can generally be controlled with little to no extra programming (depending on your platform/hardware choice).
