Just a question, have you guys tried doubling up the omniwheels with an offset so that theres always a roller in contact with the ground?

We found it to work better with 2 offset wheels, basically the problem without the offset is that without it, the wheel isnt really round, so it bounces and doesnt slide quite as well.

Good luck to you guys and i hope to see you in houston!

Have you tried the new plastic omni-wheels from AM? They've made the rollers wider and with a lower profile so you don't see much bounce with these. I've got another set on order in case we need them or as replacements.

work now is focused on autonomous modes and getting the mechanics of the ball harvesting complete and shooting


Thanks,
