Originally started with robotshop omniwheels, but switched to andymark wheels when robotshop removed the wheel I wanted from their product line: youtube.com/watch?v=IdOF9dfA4ZQ

I think brushless motors and VESCs [currently at least] are the way of the future for makers, who need affordable parts. They will outperform any brushed setup in power density, offer higher top speeds, and can pack as serious punch when you have a controller to match it.

Why not post the video showing the various “riders”? Looked like they were having a lot of fun!

I dunno. I thought this forum would be more interested in performance than happy videos :slight_smile: The one without riders shows more of its agility, speed (albeit it is limited below half by software/voltage), and performance.
