Re: pic: 3 wheel omni drive concept

I think you'll find the directional performance of that strafe wheel will be quite aggressive in one direction, and lackluster in the other.

Having the pivot off to one side results in the wheel trying to "drive under" the pivot when going towards it, and it lifting itself up when driving away from it.

I've seen this effect mitigated via using a linear up/down motion, or the fancy strafe module 148 used in 2014 that used this action to it's benefit.

Actuating it is another option, but has it's own downsides.
