  • Omnidirectional Wheel ?

    I am thinking about modifying the hoverboard wheel this way: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4887372

    Because I'm afraid that the robot weight + the very soft suspension + the very gripping tires will cause problems to turn the robot left/right.

  • WIP assembly, the 4 wheels + batterie are super heavy ~20kg

Looks very intriguing.  Quite different between the first and second version. Please keep the update and pictures coming

  Are you sure? yes | no

dtanguy wrote 06/03/2022 at 19:51 • point

Thanks ! Yes I changed my mind for 2 reasons 1) The cost, lot of different metal parts is more expensive to buy than 8x the same parts 2) I was afraid of having a lot of mechanical backlash with all the joints, and not being able to put bearings everywhere.

  Are you sure? yes | no
