Re: Pic: Easy to make mecanums..

Question:

Most mecanum wheels have the rollers at a 45* angle on 2 axes (I think you all know what I mean, at least, I hope it's clear: the rollers are at a 45* angle to the wheel and then angled upwards, correct?)

Is this necessary, is it simply for increased traction, or could one theoretically design a mecanum wheel more in the style of an omni wheel, simply rotating the rollers to a 45* angle instead of a 90* angle?
