  • como se llama ese tipo de rstructura, que tiene muchos ollos

  • @GREVAN101089 It is called an "Omni-drive" or a "Holonomic Drive". If you're referring to the front intake wheels, that has no name...

  • Have you used the intake rollers available on the vex website? I was wondering how they compare to the one's you built.

  • Well, the diameter on the intake rollers they sold were too small to get the height we needed. I've seen them used effectively, but they need a lot of pressure to make them effective since the rubber is really stiff. Best for smaller diameter objects. We would have used tread for this application but it was too front heavy.

  • What is the configuration of your wheels on this? We can't seem to make a bot with holonomic drive while still having a roller like that.

  • Don't! lol Basically, this robot had all the drive wheels in the back 60% of the robot. The four omnis are at the corners of the rectangle. The front is supported by a caster between the rollers. With an omni drive, you need equal pressure on all the wheels or it simply won't work right. We had serious drive problems with this one...So I'd reccomend either counterbalancing the front, or just deal with a smaller intake width between the omni wheels. Good luck!
