  • They reinvented the fucking wheel. Kudos.

  • Excellent point. Also, electric motors and controllers are getting cheaper all the time. Sure it's a niche market, but so's the helicopter.

  • y did u knot just use balls as a tier and put a moto on each ball to do the same thing

  • @filix92 well duh. but the did put the work in to building something using them thats comercially viable

  • They are just mechanum wheels, they didn't invented them. Check them on the wiki.

  • @DeimosSaturn No. Look up FIRST robotics. High Schoolers reinvented the wheel

  • Wheel re-invented? Sort of. Check out the sidedriver wheel. Much broader use. higher speeds/loads and applications in general. no need to redesign the vehicle from ground up. Bolt-on application. SideDriverDotCom

  • you need a motor for each wheel this is stupid, thats why you dont see them in cars

  • @Milkmanbag

    You're retarded.
