So does this mean I can't tip over handicapped people using this thing?

God damnit

[nemesisnick66]

i want one!

[t93sho]

There's a better way of doing that and still maintaining the omnidirectional fun

[hillmedia22]

maybe you should elaborate, dick.

Excellent Invention... Can you power it using motor in wheels and a joy stick? Would be a great wheel chair. Can't the balance wheels be configured for braking?

Bring it to market as a wheel chair. Get Approved as a medical device and let insurance cover the costs.

Bring it to market for $1000

it wouldn't make a great wheelchair, it doesn't have enough control, however. if you want to see something that would make a good wheelchair, look up "Airtrax Omni Directional Drive" that's a lot more controllable.

however, for fun, i would definitely pick this ^^

THAT is a very excellent idea! If i had one or two of those, I would have the most fun I've had in a long time! Too bad it's not on the market- if it was, I'd be the first one to buy.

Sorry, it's not on the market and probably never will be - too many parts to make it cost effective, and no brakes so if you get going too fast it's game over. I could see them perhaps at an amusement park, though. Thanks for watching!

would it be possible to minimalise production costs by aquiring ready made parts, im sure you could find pre made omni wheels and the rest seems as tho it could be simplified.

also the matter of no brakes could probably be fixed if you had brakes that simply impacted directly on the ground and not on the wheels.

Wonderful product!!! Is it already on the market?
