Go to Post All I know is I have fun building a robot, and I have fun competing with it. If I get an award, I'm happy. If I don't, then too bad. Either way, I'm coming back next year. - Tom Bottiglieri [more]

Re: pic: 1018 OmniWheels - 1st generation
So, to answer a couple of questions from the previous thread ...

We have two of these on our robot (rear wheels). They work MUCH better than expected (especially after the mod to replace the K'nex with Lexan). "Luci" is a four wheel drive machine with 9" pneumatic Skyways on the front. And obviously, from our low frame design, we won't be climbing the platform ... but we do have other surprises in store ...

The large outer white rings are polypropylene. "Spokes" are carbon fiber disks, and we are using aluminum for the hub. MUCH THANKS goes out to our newest sponsor - WaterJet Cutting of Indiana - who made these wheels possible. All parts were cut using waterjet, then finished as required with milling, turning, and tapping. Our team had a great field trip to WCI to see some of these parts being cut and learn about the process.

Re: pic: 1018 OmniWheels - 1st generation
Those look very similar to the 2003 Cornell Robocup omni-wheels. Get any ideas from them?
