ahhh, yes, you're right.. so where a "traditional" holonomic platform goes twice(well, for simplicity's sake, allow me to say twice) the speed going at a 45 degree angle than going straight forward or sideways, this "new" one will go twice as fast forwards and daigonally than sideways... am i right? or am i just getting even more confused?
