In this project we will be having a closer look at omniwheels. Such wheels can (like the name implies) move in any 2D direction without turning. That makes them ideal for saving energy and time and they can also very precisely move the robot to a specific spot. There are of course many more advantages and applications which is why I was eager to find out more about them. So in this video I basically built my own omniwheel robot to learn more about the topic while also determining whether it is worth it to build such a robot design.
