Re: Omni Wheels Survey

Team 122 has used omni-wheels for a number of years (notably, we lacked them last year ... which propelled us to using them again this year!) The amount of traction they provide all depends on how you make them, and we've explored a number of methods. The "omni" part of the wheels only need to give when the 'bot experiences a lateral force -- so just because someone pushes you on the front doesn't mean it should give. Particularly 3 years ago we built our bot to be a pusher (back when we had to move goals to different zones and keep them there); we used omni-wheels, and it all worked pretty well for us. Overall, I think omni-wheels are a great thing to have.
