oh and the 50% is not correct if i remember a thread from looong ago

i read a pdf i found on Google a long time ago about actively adjustable roller angle mecanumwheels. it was basically like a collective pitch actuator inside the hub of the wheel that let you change the angle of the rollers from 45* to 0*. mostly for efficiency in forward motion and also some Redneck gear reduction while moving sideways. much like the rotor blades of a helicopter or an airplane propeller with adjustable pitch
