Re: pic: 357 Mecanum Wheelchair
I'm going to do a little bit of digging around, but I believe that 357 was given a 10,000 dollar grant from MIT to build their concept wheelchair, which as you can see they did.
It was pretty cool seeing it in action. It can do anything that 357's robot can, giving it a crazy amount of mobility. It was pretty awesome to see the wheelchair suddenly start traveling on a diagonal.

your time is better spent in the stands, watching what the robots actually do, as opposed to listening to the builders talk about what they're [I]supposed[/I] to do. - sanddrag [more]
