Re: pic: 2826 Halonomic Drive Prototype

This is very, very cool. As with everyone else, I have a few questions:

What is the purpose of the scissor-like suspension? Is it to provide active suspension for the wheels, or does your wheelbase footprint need to change during your application?

What is the diameter of those wheels?

Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way, but shouldn't the wheels be swapped from front to back? Looking at the top view of the robot, I believe the mecanum roller positioning should look like this:

\........../
\........../
\........../
............
............
............
/..........\
/..........\
/..........\

This is a very inspirational mechanism. I would love to see what all is going on within each of those suspension members.

Sincerely,
Andy Baker
