Here is another short clip at my Omniwheel Growbot programmed to run in 10 directions. Alot of mechnical problems for sure. Time to mabe make a more sound body. I am not sure if 2 wheels per axis are better then 1 wheel per axis considering surface contact vs drag. Also think the speed of a continous servo is not fast enough. Does anyone know the RPM of a Futuba standard servo? Any input would be appreciatted as usual. Back to the basement robotics lab.
Working on it In theory my simple program has combinations of 10 wheel directions using the same forward and reverse speed, but there is alot of slipage. I don’t know why they even bothered to make hard plastic wheels. Cost I guess. You don’t see any other types of hard plastic wheels.
There are urethane wheels of There are urethane wheels of that type of omniwheel and others. Unfortunately I don’t know a distributor that carries other than the hard plastic for that type. Omniwheel.com carries the other type in urethane,
**Youve got to think of**<br><p>Youve got to think of omniwheels being no bigger than the smallest roller, which is pretty small! If youre driving over gravel bigger than the little rollers its not going to go smoothly. Omniwheels aren`t made for rough surfaces.
