Omni Wheels Survey

[MOEmaniac]

Omni wheels actually worked great for my team this year. But, we didnt have them on the ground the whole time. We had ours attatched to a pnumatic cylinder and when the stoke was out the wheels were down and when the stoke was in they were up. We saw early in the build season that the pnumatic wheels that were provided in the kit didn't allow for smooth turning. So our drive/chassie team came up with the idea of having a set of omni wheels stowed up under the robot and that could be deployed when ever the driver wanted them to. This turned out to be a great asset for out team this year because our driver could easliy maneuver the robot.
