Re: pic: Poor Man's Omni Wheel
What material is used on the white rollers? It looks like nylon. Are you planning to cover the rollers with some friction material?
Ideally they would have excellent friction (grip) in the wheel rotation direction, and roll freely sidesways. |

One of the other positive characteristics of the barrel rollers is their football shape. This makes rolling a lot less bumpy and makes for more solid contact on and between rollers. One other spec I failed to mention - they are 6" diameter wheels to the outside of the barrel rollers. Stop by our pits in Cleveland, Milwaukee and/or Atlanta to see them up close and get a status report on their effectiveness. Sean |

Re: pic: Poor Man's Omni Wheel
We have 2 of those mini CNC mills. I always saw them unfit for anything but making keychains and circuit boards. I never considered making plastic parts. Good idea!!
