A simulator for teaching how drive trains work.

[vantjac]

I made an online drive train simulator: http://vanjac.github.io/sketches/mecanum/

It lets you drive around a Mecanum, tank drive, or omni-wheel robot. It's designed for teaching how Mecanum/Omni drives are able to move, and how to program them. Specifically, for Mecanum drives, the simulator shows the force vectors for each wheel and the combined movement as a sum of those forces.

If you're interested in the code, it's on github here: https://github.com/vanjac/vanjac.git...etches/mecanum

It's written in processing. For the web browser version it uses processing.js.
