OH!, i remember... EVERYBODY!

while simple may be good, effective is better.

i love how compact the drive module itself is (what!? they fit two motors in that thing!? no way!!), and how you used only two stages of gear reduction. my only question is, why did you guys use a 'hall magnetic sensor' instead of the more common light sensor?

Awesome drive system, and a great paper to accompany it. Though I would say our team would never use something like this....I'm still pretty impressed. The paper explained a lot of things to me that I didn't really get about omnidirectional systems. Thanks for posting!
