Re: pic: 'I' drivetrain concept
Have you considered the loss of traction you're going to get by only driving one of the wheels in the primary drive orientation? At best, the robot's weight will be distributed between the single primary wheel (whether omni or plaction) and two of the side omni wheels. This will reduce the amount of force you can apply before the wheels start slipping, meaning you won't accelerate (or push, if that was a consideration) as well as a drive system where all wheels are driven

There are times when we talk as friends and joke around about things like this, but then the most important times are when he says "I'm telling you this as a mentor," no matter what it is, those moments mean a lot. - Akash Rastogi [more]
