 Overall... the secret is PROTOTYPING! Design is an iterative process. Do some basic design in your head. Build it. Test it. Improve it. Repeat until satisfied. - JVN [more] |

Re: Finding Mecanum Wheels
Our team is looing at the mecanum drives as well. One thought we had was to put a clutch on the small rollers to lock them.
Most of these type wheels have adjustable friction on the small rollers. If the two Stampings were pulled together the friction would increase. Another possibility is to put a bladder (inner tube) inside the wheel. Inflate it to push on the inside of the rollers to lock them.  |
