Nearly every design I have seen, including ours based on the Wildstang 2001 design, uses two 'half plates' to make up each wheel. In each half plate is milled a 'half slot' that holds the axles of the omni rollers. When the two are bolted together, the omni rollers are captured in the milled out areas of the wheels and the axles are cpatured in the two plates.

Pictars...

Since Pictars died I'm not sure if those links still work.

Here are some more pictures.

Re: Post your omni wheeled robot pics

very, very cool. you guys use IFI stuff, right?

I wish FIRST would migrate to RC equipment. With the advent of cool stuff like synthesized frequency modulators, all you have to do is 'dial-in' your frequency... and at that point, it's stil cheaper than the IFI systems. meh, YMMV

another great thing about that is that you can use cool stuff like this.

Re: Post your omni wheeled robot pics

though most people use two plates with milled slots, we use three plates. the middle plate in our case was waterjetted with slots to hole .125" steel pin upon which the delrin wheels could spin. this technique saved used tons of time, but i realize not everyone has a waterjet.

another interesting approach was a spherical wheeled kiwi drive that we prototyped extensively but never used. trust me, it's awesome.

Re: Post your omni wheeled robot pics

We just got some omni wheels and put them on our robot last week and we are currently testing them in replacement of two casters on the back of our robot, i don't have a picture yet but i can get one later this week. This is the first time my team has experimented with omni wheels and if everything works out we might use omni wheels on our 2005 robot if needed.

If anyone has problems with code we have pretty much mastered omni (except for autonomous) Our software team was going to write it up in a white paper but they havn't gotten around to it.
