Re: pic: 6 wheel omni drive
is it really worth the extra weight to drive the center omni wheels, they won't add much to your pushing force. there is also the added drag of the chain and differential.

Re: pic: 6 wheel omni drive
We are actualy going for the suspension. Any extra traction would help.
What if we install 4 sets of mecanum wheels and 8 sets of omni wheels on each drive half? Would that give more push power? I don't think we would try it but what if? |

Re: pic: 6 wheel omni drive
Yes it will give you marginally more pushing power, but only marginally and not enough to be worth the extra weight and system drag.

Re: pic: 6 wheel omni drive
Up date to this post:
we used this drive system for our 2010 robot and it did well. in pushing matches it did make a difference, we were able to hold our own. The suspension worked great for the humps of the soccer game. you can view the completed robot at http://team1322.org/ideas.htm |
