Lego Omni Drive

Here is a kiwi omni drive made with RCX. The omni wheels are made out of all lego pieces and drive very well.

dude thats awsome :ahh: :yikes: :smiley: :slight_smile: :]

That is insanely cool. Do you have any videos of it running? I would love to see it in action.

dude! That’s sweet!

Oh, man, that’s cool. I’m selling my mindstorms 2.0 so I can buy a Vex kit. The legos just seemed so limited. Curse you for proving me wrong! :rolleyes:

That blows, both are totally awesome! Fortunately for me, I have both. :rolleyes:

We made something like that, but it was a lot bigger and overly complex. Nice work!

That is awsome man. Great job!

sweeeeeeetness

Very cool! How smoothly does it run?

Great work! Now, who will take on the task of a mechanum (SP?) wheel? :smiley:

working on it already. will post pics.

i tried that but I couldn’t get it working so I made the onmiwheels.

These wheels look almost exactly like the lego omni wheels i built back when i was on a team, trying to convince them to use some omni wheels instead of casters…

It kinda worked, seeing as they used omni-casters…

Wow that is awesome!!! does it work as well as a real omniwheel?

sweet! So cool. Great Job.:] :yikes: :]

Great Job!

It looks like a bumpy ride, but a cool one. Do the vectors work out? Does it go the direction you want it to go? Have you made any awesome programs for it?

yup

I’m impressed. I thought making a castor that was different from the one in the guide was tough.

That is pretty cool.

On another note, a couple of years ago there was a middle school student who after seeing Chainzilla (118’s competition robot in the Tetra Challenge) made his own crab drive system on legos and apparently it worked. I thought that was pretty cool when I heard that.
