Holonomic warnings

They had a very clever drive system. My one issue with holonomic drive wheels (also known as omni-rollers or omnidirectional wheels) is that in the direction transverse to the 'major' direction of rolling, the effect wheel diameter gets pretty small. I know that it can be made to work, but I still get a bit nerveous with wheels smaller than 3 inches or so. The holonomic wheels I have seen are much smaller than that when rolled against the grain. Just my two cents worth. Again, the idea is very clever and has some very cool advantages. I am only pointing out that there are some issues to be aware of when you are making your design decisions.
